Brushing Of Teeth

Caring for teeth properly means that when we brush our teeth the kind of toothbrush and the brand of toothpaste we use matter a lot. 

The toothbrush should be the one with soft bristles which helps in gradually removing plaque without injury to the gums and teeth. 
 
Strawberries have many properties that bleach and clean teeth, and these are very useful in removing tea and coffee stains from the teeth. 

We can also make toothpaste from hydrogen peroxide by mixing a teaspoon of baking soda and half a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide. we can then use this mixture at least one day in a week. This is very useful to reduce tartar and stain.

We should brush our teeth twice a day as a way of caring for teeth –in the morning after breakfast and at night. When we brush our teeth in the morning, it helps in removing plaque formed during the night since calculus develops after breakfast and bacteria activities occur at night. 

Brushing teeth at night helps in cleaning the surface of the tooth from food debris. Brush your teeth with little strokes by giving pressure to the tooth using the toothbrush with round tips to the surface of the tooth. The soft bristle of the toothbrush should reach the surface of the mouth. 

Here are some steps you should follow when brushing your teeth:

1.    brush the teeth from the outer part of the front of the teeth gradually,
2.    after this, brush the internal part of the lower section of the teeth,
3.    then brush the inner surface of the upper section of the teeth. Then the chewing surface gently,
4.    to end with the process move the bristles of the toothbrush to a complete section of the tongue to reduce deposits forming a plaque.
