Dental Opinion, Brushing Our Teeth
Fun Fact About Brushing Our Teeth: Over the course of our life, we will spend about 38 days brushing our teeth.
Brushing your teeth is an important part of your dental care routine. ADA (American Dental Association) recommends you:
* Brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled brush. The size and shape of your brush should fit your mouth allowing you to reach all areas easily.
* Replace your toothbrush every three or four months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed. A worn toothbrush will not do a good job of cleaning your teeth.
* Make sure to use an ADA-accepted fluoride toothpaste.
