Dentist Fort Lee Teeth Brushing Tips
Many people grow up brushing their teeth the same way from the time their children until adulthood. However, even after visiting a dentist for years, few actually change their brushing habits and techniques. Even if you’re set in your ways and don’t think you need to modify the way you brush, it never hurts to try some new tricks to get a better clean. Here are some tips to help your smile become healthier and cleaner. 
 
1. Electric Toothbrush
 
An electric toothbrush can give you a deeper clean, removing more debris than a traditional toothbrush. You might also find them more fun and exciting to use, which will encourage you to brush for an adequate amount of time and twice a day. The tiny round brush heads may also reach difficult areas easier and clean around teeth more efficiently. 
 
2. Set a Timer
 
A common mistake that dental patients make is just not brushing their teeth long enough. To end this habit, try setting a timer on your cell phone to ensure that you brush for at least two minutes twice a day. Additionally, you might even be interested in playing a song on your phone for two minutes instead to make the time go by faster!
 
3. Be Thorough
 
Since your teeth in the front of your mouth are seen by everyone, a lot of people pay more attention to this area when brushing. Even though this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, reaching every part of your mouth along with the backs of your teeth is just as important. Make a conscious effort to brush both the front and backs of your teeth so that your entire mouth stays healthy.
 
4. Don’t Forget Your Tongue
 
While brushing your tongue might sound odd, it’s also a necessary part of oral care. Your tongue is filled with bacteria that can result in plaque if not properly treated or cared for at home. Be sure to gently brush your tongue each day so that it stays clean and healthy. Additionally, brushing your tongue can freshen your breath. If you’re experiencing chronic bad breath, definitely try to incorporate this into your daily oral routine.
