Proper brushing takes just two minutes to
finish the task but most of the people do not provide even that much of time
to their brushing. So if you want to develop a habit of brushing at least
two minutes a day, it is best to start off using a stopwatch to keep track
of time. Just use short, gentle strokes with special attention to the gum
line. Make sure you thoroughly clean each of the section in the denture to
have a shiny white smile.
Take a look at the right brushing technique here:
As per most of the dental experts,
soft-bristled brushes are the 'best' at removing the debris and plaque from
the teeth. In fact, small headed brushes are also a good option as they can
easily reach the deep inside areas of denture and mouth. Now-a-days, powered
toothbrushes are also available in the market that perform a great job of
cleaning the teeth specially for those who are unable to brush properly due
to some physical issues.
A befitting toothpaste as per your
dental requirements is an essential. Today there is a wide variety of
toothpastes available in the market to serve varied dental requirements. For
example, one can easily find specialized toothpastes for cavities,
gingivitis, tartar, stained teeth and sensitivity. Though, we would suggest
to consult your dentist first, before opting for any of such toothpastes.
A toothbrush needs to be
replaced when it starts showing to wear. Though, in case you are not able to
judge when to replace the brush, simply change it every three month. Be sure
you change the brush after you have had cold as the bristles tend to attract
germs that can lead to further reinfection.
