Personal Dental Care: Yes, It’s More Than Just Brushing


Almost everyone has their own share of childhood
tooth-y story. Parents have their own unique way of
encouraging their children how to take care of their
teeth - from exaggerated stories to imaginary
characters (hello, tooth fairy).

However, encouraging children to take care of their
teeth is actually a good thing to do because it’s a
good idea to start practicing personal dental care at
an early age. Perhaps the most basic thing that almost
everyone knows about personal dental care is brushing.

Brushing one’s teeth after every meal is considered as
the most basic step for personal dental care. A lot of
people may think that brushing one’s teeth is just
plain brushing; what most people don’t know is that
there is a proper way to brush one’s teeth.

Brushing one’s teeth effectively does not involve
freestyle strokes. If you are one of the many people
who do not know the proper strokes of brushing, a
visit to the dentist would be the solution to your
problem.

Brush Your Teeth At Least Two Times A Day Although
there are some people who believe that it is necessary
to brush one’s teeth three times a day or after every
meal, most dentists would recommend that teeth should
be brushed at least two times a day.

There are even cases when dentist would discourage
their patients from brushing more than two times a
day, especially for those people who are experiencing
discomfort from sensitive teeth.

Don’t Be A Lazy Bum In a world that’s full of hustle
and bustle, with lots of deadlines to meet and
schedules to juggle, it wouldn’t be a wonder if one
would forget about his or her personal dental care.

Some people can even afford to get through a day
without actually brushing their teeth. If you are one
of the many individuals who think that eating
mentholated candies, gargling mouthwash, or flossing
can equal to brushing, you might need to change your
approach to your personal dental care routine.

Eating candies to hide the scent of what you just ate
during your latest meal is definitely not a good idea.

Sure, it would be excusable if you just did it once or
twice, or during an emergency, but if you are guilty
of doing it regularly, you are actually doing more
harm than good to your teeth.

Eating candies and other sweets to compensate the lack
of brushing may just infuse more cavities to your
teeth. You may not see the harmful results of this
horrible "dental care" right away, but in the long
run, you will surely find yourself regretting why you
let your teeth fall into the traps of candies and
sweets.

Substituting brushing with a simple mouthwash gargle
session in the bathroom may seem to save you a lot of
precious work time, but in reality, you are just
putting your teeth (and mouth) in jeopardy.

Mouthwashes are made to enhance the cleanliness of
your teeth, not to substitute tooth brushing. Simply
gargling with mouthwash won’t thoroughly cleanse your
mouth.

Sure, your mouth may feel fresh and clean after you
gargle with mouthwash, but if a microscope would be
placed in your mouth (especially in between your
teeth), you may just end up being disgusted with what
you see.

Achieving a healthy personal dental care routine is
important because it will surely make or break your
smile. Don’t neglect your teeth because they make up
an important part of your face.
