The Best Time To Brush
You need to brush twice a day.
The best time to brush during the day is After breakfast.
The best time to brush at night is after your last food or drink. The only thing you can consume after brushing at night is unflavoured water.
wait for 30 -60 minutes if you have consumed citrus foods , for the sake of netralization of acid in teeth
What Brush Should You Use?
Use soft bristled toothbrushes. Hard/medium bristles can cause significant injury to your tooth and gum in the long run, and are actually a common cause of hypersensitivity.
If you ask for my recommendation, use a brush with thin bristles having round tips(colgate, oral B),a criss cross angulated design (colgate criss-cross) and a flexible neck for better cleaning( colgate, oral-B)
If you have some crowding ( daant thode tedhe ya aage piche hain), go for a zig zag or a criss cross pattern.
Don't Forget To Clean Your Tongue
Use the tongue cleaner on the back of your toothbrush.
or use plastic toungue scraper , gnetly scrap tounge
How Much ToothPaste?
small pea sized portion of toothpaste on a wet toothbrush is enough for an adult.
The Right Way To Brush:
Preparation:
Wet your toothbrush and apply a pea-sized amount of toothpaste.
Tap gently to let the paste settle between the bristles.
Duration:
Brush for at least 2 minutes for effective plaque removal.
Pressure:
Don't brush hard—it can cause sensitivity.
Use light pressure: Press your fingernail until it turns pale; that’s the same pressure you should apply while brushing.
How Do You Store Your Brush?
Store your brush in a clean, dry area, where the brush can air dry.
When Do You Change Your Brush?
to avoid bacterial buildup over the brush, and to maximise effectivity.
Change your brush every 3 months, ideally.
