Brushing

Brushing is a form of hygiene performed to maintain oral health. It is advised that one should brush at least twice a day. However, just brushing twice a day for 2 minutes isn’t enough to maintain your oral hygiene. You should know the right technique to brush too. First, you should divide your mouth into four quadrants and spend 30 seconds cleaning up each quadrant. Make sure you cover the outer, inner and the chewing sections of the teeth. It is also important to remember that you shouldn’t brush horizontally along your gum line as it may damage your gums.

These days, besides conventional toothbrushes there are electronic toothbrushes too which can enhance your experience of brushing. They give a buzzing feel to your teeth while brushing, and that is enjoyed by a lot of people. Some of them also come with a timer which alerts you as soon as you complete two minutes of brushing.

If you don’t brush, you may have several oral health ailments like bad breath, dental cavities, yellow teeth, gum disease, etc. Also, besides brushing – you should use mouthwash, dental floss along with eating foods that are good for your health in order to maintain that glowing smile.
