To maintain good oral hygiene, it is necessary to brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste two to three times a day, once at night. A time of 2 minutes should be spent to ensure proper cleaning. Many electric toothbrushes have indicators for optimal brushing time. You can complete the hygiene with the use of a tongue cleaner, an interdental brush and a mouthwash to reach the less accessible corners.
The bristles of the toothbrush suffer wear over time, so it is advisable to change the head of your electric toothbrush every 3 months or sooner if there is obvious deterioration. Remember that if the end of the bristles is very deteriorated, it may not provide optimal cleaning and may cause microtrauma to the gums.
Have regular check-ups with your dentist to ensure good oral health and hygiene.
