You might be surprised how Norwich Dental Care keeps their teeth clean as you might have been brushing the wrong way or even flossing the wrong way for a while now. Within this article we aim to fix that and inform you on the best way for you to clean your teeth just like our dentists in Norwich do here at Andrew Brown Dental.
A little information about the toothpaste and brushing
You should take the time to brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day for about 2 minutes each time to keep your teeth and mouth healthy. Usually people brush their teeth the first thing in the morning and just before they go to bed.
If you don’t brush your teeth then plaque will form which coats your teeth in bacteria which eventually contributes to tooth decay and gum disease.
Of course, brushing your teeth will stop the build-up of plaque and when brushing please make sure you brush every surface of your teeth.
Depending on advice given by your dentist or hygienist you might need to brush your teeth for more than 2 minutes or more than twice a day.
Take a look on how to brush your teeth properly below:
- Aim your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle towards your gum line.
- Use a pea-sized amount of the toothpaste.
- Use a kind of gentle circular motion.
- Repeat on the inside surfaces of the mouth.
- Use a light back and forth motion on your chewing surfaces.
- Spit out the toothpaste after brushing your teeth.
You do not need to rinse the toothpaste, as the small amount of fluoridated toothpaste left in your mouth after spitting continues to protect against tooth decay and gum disease.
What about mouthwash?
Our dentists in Norwich will inform you that using any mouthwash as long as it contains fluoride. The key point is to not use mouthwash after you have brushed your teeth but instead beforehand. Also don’t use mouthwash or brush your teeth and then eat immediately after, a 30-minute time frame is required to receive maximum efficiency from brushing.
