Do you want a top-notch oral health and smile? If so, you need to take good care of your teeth and gums. Unfortunately, that might be a little more tough than you think it is, especially because there are bad tooth brushing habits that can alter the condition of your teeth and gums. Fortunately, there are also good brushing habits that can help you. Our dentist, Dr. David Kim, is more than happy to tell you all about them today!
-Use a toothbrush that has soft bristles
-Use a toothbrush that has been approved by the American Dental Association (The stamp of approval proves that the tool is safe and effective in an oral hygiene routine)
-Brush your teeth every morning and night for two minutes each time (Brushing more or less can harm your teeth and gums and even alter your oral health)
-Use a gentle motion as you brush (Brushing roughly can irritate the gums and make them recede, which means they move away from the teeth and expose the roots)
