| You
should aim to brush your teeth at least twice every day.
This should be
first thing in a morning, before breakfast, and last thing at
night.
You should brush
each corner of your mouth for 30 seconds making a total of 2
minutes. It is
important to give the toothpaste this time to strengthen your
teeth and not just think of brushing as a way of removing food
from the teeth.
You should cover
every surface of every tooth and gently include your gums.
Floss and interdental brushes will help to clean the more
hard to reach areas of your mouth.
Interdental
Brushes as shown above are available at reception
Electric
toothbrushes are known to be up to 40x more effective than manual
toothbrushes and you should be replacing you toothbrush every
three months.
If
you have any questions, your dentist will be happy to answer them.
