Brushing teeth is one of the basic steps for a person to maintain oral health, but a simple habit that many people practice while brushing their teeth can be harmful.
Dr. Johnny Stevens, a British dentist, explained the importance of looking in the mirror when brushing your teeth to ensure optimal oral hygiene.
He strongly advised to stay in front of the mirror to ensure that all teeth and gums under the lips are cleaned well, according to what he told the British “Daily Express” website.
The importance of cleaning teeth
It is essential for excellent gum health to make sure you are doing your job correctly, and this means looking in the mirror and lifting your lips to make sure you are cleaning your gums effectively.
Dr. Stevens also spoke about the importance of brushing teeth for at least two minutes, twice a day, saying: “Brushing teeth is at least two minutes twice a day, and I always recommend brushing teeth 3 times a day for the most efficient cleaning.”
Dental floss
Another important aspect of oral hygiene that Dr. Stevens draws attention to is the use of dental floss, which he recommends to avoid the buildup of bacteria and plaque.
He pointed out that if you do not clean between your teeth, you lose more than 30% of the tooth surface, where bacteria and plaque can accumulate.
Oral health
The new easy way to ensure you clean this unreachable area is to use water floss before brushing in the morning and evening, according to the British doctor.
Using water floss is a more effective way to reach between the teeth and below the gum line to ensure optimal oral health.
