Such situations shouldn't be in the first place and we will show you one method how to 

 

"Brush effectively so you don't get gum disease and stinky breath"

 

 

Ready?

 

Come along for the ride...

 

During our recent outreach to 1st Graders in International Community School Abuja, we taught them on Dental Education with a focus on the primary activity with affects our dental health

 

"Brushing Your Teeth"

 

One might think that knowing how to brush should be for children alone but that's far from the truth.

 

Many cases we have recorded would have been prevented if the basics of brushing was learned early and stuck to.

 

Hence why you as an Adult need this open secret you haven't learnt 

 

Dr. Zara made the children understand this and Dr. Judith gave a live example of how this is done with the kids 

 

This same secret is what you're going to learn today.

 

So how do you brush your mouth effectively to avoid gum disease, stinky breath and family running away from you?

 

The proper brushing technique is to:

• Place your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to the gums.

 

• Gently move the brush back and forth in short (tooth-wide) strokes.

 

• Brush the outer surfaces, the inner surfaces, and the chewing surfaces of the teeth.

 

• To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the brush vertically and make several up-and-down strokes.

 

Following these four simple steps will get you on your way to a shiny health teeth, however for a healthy mouth and smile, we recommends you:

 

 

• Brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled brush. The size and shape of your brush should fit your mouth allowing you to reach all areas easily.

 

• Replace your toothbrush every three or four months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed. A worn toothbrush won’t do a good job of cleaning your teeth.

 

• Make sure to use a NAFDAC approved fluoride toothpaste.
