Al-Youm Al-Sabaa TV broadcasted special coverage on the correct ways to brush your teeth, and a number of tips.
And the coverage stated that it is recommended to brush the teeth twice a day, but the best is to wash them three times, and you should brush your teeth for at least two minutes each time, which most people do not do. Divide the mouth into four sections, and rinse each section for 30 seconds.
It is also recommended that brushing teeth more than three times a day may be unhealthy. This is because excessive brushing can weaken the outer shell of the teeth, which is known as enamel, as well as damage the gums.
An important tip is to hold the brush at a 45-degree angle opposite the gums, and move up and down. Use quick movements. Move the brush on the inner and outer parts of the teeth, on the back molars and on the tongue, don’t forget those hard-to-reach areas! And if you don’t brush your mouth completely, your teeth may get decayed and damaged.
It is important to choose a good type of toothpaste, as the type you use to whiten teeth or reduce cavities may be harsh. Excess white particles can be harmful and remove tooth structure.
