How often should you brush your teeth?

How often should you brush your teeth?Brushing your teeth is one practice that our dentists say you cannot skip. If you fail to brush your teeth you will be putting yourself at serious oral health threat. Brushing your teeth removes plaque and food particles from your gums, teeth, and tongue. You will therefore be able to prevent the development of tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease. Since it is a crucial dental hygiene procedure, you should practice safe and appropriate brushing methods. One of these is regular brushing of your teeth. Here at our clinic, we always advise our patients on what to do to maintain good dental health.

Brush Your Teeth At Least Twice Daily


The recommended frequency that you should brush your teeth is twice every day, in the morning and before you go to sleep. This should be enough to ensure that there is no dental plaque accumulation which can deteriorate your dental condition.

If Possible, Brush After Meals


However, you can also brush your teeth after taking a meal. This is particularly important if you eat sugary or acidic foods. You need to wash away the acids and sugars in your mouth because they can lead to bacterial infections. It is therefore important to remove these types of food from your mouth quickly since if you leave them to settle, they will harm your teeth and gums.
