The way you brush your teeth is a vital element in dental hygiene. Improper brushing has been found out to be one main cause of cavities. This is because with improper brushing, food particles that get lodged in between teeth are not removed and flushed out. Worse, they even get more deeply imbedded.
To properly brush your teeth, you will need a good toothbrush with soft but firm bristles. A fluoride rich toothpaste is a must. Follow a circular or up and down motion while brushing, paying more attention to hard to reach areas. Brush your tongue as well.
