When it comes to keeping your teeth and gums clean and healthy, the way in which you brush them can play a big part. Knowing the right way to brush your teeth may seem pretty obvious, but there are lots of simple changes you can make to your routine that can make quite a positive difference in the long run.<\/p>\n

\"marylebone-dentist\"Here are just a few helpful tips and simple changes that you can make to your brushing routine from our dentist in Marylebone<\/a>, that will help you take care of your teeth and gums.<\/p>\n

Use the right kind of brush<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having the right kind of brush can make quite a big difference to how clean your teeth are kept. Toothbrushes come in a mind meltingly array of different types, sizes and bristle types, so finding one that works for you can seem a little overwhelming. Having the wrong brush could mean you end up missing plaque and bacteria that could later go on to cause all sorts of oral health problems.<\/p>\n

Although hard bristles may seem like the right choice, generally you should aim for soft bristles as they\u2019re flexible and can reach into those tricky to hit places between your teeth. If you\u2019re unsure where to begin then at Plowman & Partners<\/strong> our talented team of expert dental advisors can provide you with a wealth of information on correct brushing techniques, as well as what brush will better suit your needs.<\/p>\n

Brush your teeth regularly<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perhaps the most vital piece of information our dentist in Marylebone<\/strong> could provide you with is to just brush as often as you can. Ideally you should be giving your teeth a good once over at least once or twice a day, preferably in the morning and then again at night before bed, to ensure that there are no food particles left in your teeth overnight.<\/p>\n

To maximise your cleaning potential you could also fit in a brief light scrubbing after every snack, to make sure there are no bits of food sitting in your teeth throughout the day, gathering plaque and bacteria.<\/p>\n

Clean each area thoroughly<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you brush your teeth you should pay attention to each part of your mouth. Make sure that each \u2018sector\u2019 gets a good scrub for an equal amount of time, as an uneven brush might mean that one side of your mouth might be more prone to decay and inflammation than the other.<\/p>\n

Replace your brush often<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over time the bristles in your brush can start to become frayed, loose and worn out, so make sure you\u2019re swapping it with a replacement at least once every four to six months. Keeping fresh bristles in your brush, whether it\u2019s with a replacement head for an electric one, or a whole new manual toothbrush, will ensure that a high quality of cleaning is kept up.<\/p>\n

These are just a few tips to help you improve your brushing skills and keep those teeth and gums looking healthy and clean as you get older.
