Five Things You Should Never Do With Your Toothbrush

Brushing the correct way is very important in maintaining the oral health. However most of us complain about developing dental problems even after regular brushing. This simply means that the efficiency of the technique is not good enough to removal plaque and food deposit being stuck on and in between teeth. Five things that you should keep in mind while brushing

• Always use a soft/ supersoft bristle brush. Use of a medium/hard bristle brush is associated with enamel abrasion.
• Never use a horizontal scrub motion for brushing. Always use a circular motion.
• Always be gentle while brushing. Do not apply too much pressure. This can be checked as follows: If the bristles of your brush get flared up too quickly after you change your brush, then you are probably exerting too much pressure. However if the bristles are straight even after three months of usage, then your brushing technique is probably faulty.
• In brushing the role of toothpaste is just limited to flavoring agent, so the brand of the toothpaste hardly matters.
• The frequency of tooth brushing hardly matters. Brushing once a day is enough if the efficiency is good.
