Brushing your teeth, flossing, and visiting your dentist serving Naples may provide you with a very healthy mouth. Brushing your teeth improperly, however, can lead to poor dental hygiene. While flossing just once a day is fine, brushing should be done twice. You should spend two minutes each time and employ the proper techniques.

Be sure to find a toothbrush with soft bristles and fluoride toothpaste with the ADA seal. Hold your brush at a 45-degree angle and gently brush each surface back and forth. When you brush the insides of your front teeth, brush up and down rather than at a 45-degree angle. It is typically a good idea to replace your toothbrush after 3 months, but you should do so sooner if your brush’s bristles have begun to fray. Watch this video clip for a quick look at the right way to brush your teeth.
