Brush your teeth enough time and at the right frequency
According to recommendations from the American Dental Association (ADA), each person should brush their teeth at least twice a day and maintain a brushing time of about 2 minutes to effectively clean the surface of the teeth and gums.
Brushing too quickly is a common mistake that causes plaque to remain on your teeth. Giving enough two minutes helps the toothbrush better access the areas that are difficult to clean.
Keep the brushing angle about 45 degrees
Dentists recommend placing the brush at an angle of about 45 degrees to the gum line and brushing gently in circular motions. This brushing method helps clean plaque in the area bordering between teeth and gums, where bacteria often accumulate the most.
In addition, you should use a soft bristle brush with a small tip to easily access difficult positions such as the inside of the teeth or molars.
Combine tooth cleansing
Toothbrushes are difficult to fully access between the teeth. Therefore, experts recommend using dental floss daily to remove leftover food and plaque left between the teeth.
According to experts, dental floss can clean areas that the toothbrush does not touch, helping to significantly reduce the risk of tooth decay and gingivitis. Effective oral care depends not only on toothpaste but also on daily hygiene techniques and habits.
