Brushing your teeth may seem a simple and easy task for you as you are doing it since you were a child. But you may be making some mistakes while doing this simplest task. Here are these mistakes,
You are brushing hard
Your teeth need to be cleaned not scoured. If you are scouring your teeth then you are doing more harm than good. Brushing hard can overstress the gum tissue and cause it to recede which can expose the tooth’s root. This results in tooth sensitivity and also susceptibility to cavities.
You are holding brush at wrong angle
Brushing straight across is not the right way. You need to hold the brush at 45 degree angle, upward for your top teeth and downward for your bottom teeth. In this way the bristles of your brush can sweep and wipe under the gum line where plaque can gather. Furthermore, brush teeth in small circles just as you are making small O’s on them.
Your toothbrush is hard
Hard bristled tooth brush is not good for your gums, and teeth as well. Hard brushes graze the gums. This is the reason dentists never recommend hard or medium brushes.
Tooth brush head is too big
Your toothbrush is supposed to fit in your mouth comfortably. So, the smaller, the better. This does not apply if you have a large mouth,
You have same tooth brush since last year
You may have heard the advice that change your toothbrush before it becomes sunflower. Bristles spread-out, bend and are curved so even when you brush at right angle you get no benefit. Every three months buy yourself a new tooth brush.
