When it comes to brushing our teeth, dentists are saying we are doing it wrong.
Dentists say you need to make sure you are brushing more than just two times a day. Try brushing for 2 minutes each time to help remove plaque, plaque forms naturally after you finished eating but some foods are worse than others. Foods with a lot or added sugars are worst and can cause decay. Dentist say limit yourself to four “sugar hit” each day can prevent irreversible damage to your teeth. When brushing, brush with fluoride toothpaste it’s the best way to go. Fluoride can help make your teeth stronger by replacing lost minerals in teeth. Try looking for toothpaste that contains 1350-1500 ppmF, the concentration of fluoride in parts per million. After brushing your teeth at night, you need to avoid eating or drinking anything so the fluoride can go to work, while brushing be gentle, use short precise strokes and brushing your tongue can help prevent bad breath.
