What Is the Right Way to Brush?<\/h3>\n

Proper brushing takes at least two minutes \u2014 that\u2019s right, 120 seconds! Most adults do not come close to brushing that long. To get a feel for the time involved, try using a stopwatch. To properly brush your teeth, use short, gentle strokes, paying extra attention to the gumline, hard-to-reach back teeth and areas around fillings, crowns or other restoration.
\nConcentrate on thoroughly cleaning each section as follows:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Clean the outer surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower teeth<\/p>\n

\u2022 Clean the inner surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower teeth<\/p>\n

\u2022 Clean the chewing surfaces<\/p>\n

\u2022 For fresher breath, be sure to brush your tongue, too<\/p>\n

Small-headed brushes are also preferable, since they can better reach all areas of the mouth, including hard-to-reach back teeth. For many, a powered toothbrush is a good alternative. It can do a better job of cleaning teeth, particularly for those who have difficulty brushing or who have limited manual dexterity.<\/p>\n

How Often Should I Replace My Toothbrush?<\/h3>\n

You should replace your toothbrush when it begins to show wear, or every three months, whichever comes first. It is also very important to change toothbrushes after you\u2019ve had a cold, since the bristles can collect germs that can lead to reinfection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
