Brushing: Things Lots Of Adults Don’t Know

As an adult, you may feel like you’ve been brushing your teeth for enough years that you should probably know every last thing there is to know about dental hygiene. As a result, you may also feel a little shy about asking us questions if there’s something you don’t know or are unsure about. Of course, these feelings are counterproductive when it comes to our primary goal, which is for you to know how to care for your smile when you’re at home! What you’re overlooking is that many adults are missing bits of information here and there in regard to brushing and we will now and forevermore be pleased to help you out.

It Can’t Do Everything

Yes, it would be fantastic if your toothbrush could help you achieve everything that you need to do in order to get your smile clean and keep it healthy! However, remember that you just need to add one little tiny detail to dental hygiene in addition to brushing: Floss. Do it once a day and you’ll be supporting that brushing you’ve been doing!

Bristle Firmness

You don’t want bristles that are firm. Or hard. Or medium. You just want soft ones. They clean without scraping, stripping, or harming teeth or gums. It makes for delicate but very thorough dental hygiene.

How Frequently, Long, Etc.

You don’t know how long to brush your teeth for? Neither do a lot of people! It should take two minutes. You should also be practicing this twice a day. Easy.

Even Healthy Teeth Need It

Yes, even if your smile looks brilliant and you just found out from our team that it’s in excellent condition, you still need to brush. That’s how you keep it nice and healthy (when you floss, too).
