How to brush your teeth for a healthier and more beautiful smile?

It happens very often that our day-to-day life gives way to rushing and a thousand pending things to do, so that we forget to dedicate the necessary time to small but necessary routines such as brushing our teeth.

We should consider that we can reduce the time spent in this task simply by choosing and using a good quality toothpaste and toothbrush that perfectly suits our teeth. The hardness of the bristles is very important and will affect our brushing, in Brushboo for example the brushes are manufactured with medium hardness which are perfect for healthy teeth and gums. A softer hardness is used for dentures with sensitive gums. It is also true to say that this activity should be done several times a day so that we can have a beautiful and healthy smile: when we wake up, after every meal and at bedtime.

The recommended brushing time to reach all areas is between 2 and 3 minutes and if for any reason we cannot brush after every meal, it is important that we do not forget to do it every morning and every night. In addition, it never hurts that in those moments that we can not brush we take sugarless chewing gumThe chewing stimulates the production of saliva, which helps to remove food debris, reduces acid levels that cause cavities in the mouth and strengthens teeth.

Some steps to make brushing more complete and to show off healthy teeth and gums are as follows:

1. Hold the brush as if you were holding a pen so as not to exert too much pressure. We tend to do it with our fist and this technique can damage our gums.
2. To clean the front of the teeth thoroughly: Combine circular movements with horizontal movements from left to right (scrubbing method).
3. To clean the back of the teeth well Make vertical movements from bottom to top with the handle pointing to the ceiling.
4. Brushing the gums: The teeth are not only made up of the teeth, the gums are also a fundamental part where many bacteria accumulate. It is essential to brush them with vertical movements always in the direction of the teeth, both at the front and at the back of the teeth. In the upper jaw of the mouth, we will make movements from top to bottom, and in the lower jaw, the opposite. In the event that the gums bleed, see your dentist so that the bleeding can be corrected and does not lead to major diseases such as gingivitis or periodontitis.

Good news! These tricks will not only help us to have a more beautiful and healthier smile, but will also help us to keep our breath fresh and odor-free all day long.

“It is easier to get what you want with a smile than with the point of the sword.”

William Shakespeare
