The first and most important way to keep your teeth healthy is to have them properly and regularly TREATED.
Ideally, we should brush twice a day, and it is important to do this after meals. If you brush your teeth after eating, make sure you brush for at least 30 minutes, otherwise you could damage your teeth.
But it makes a difference what kind of FOCUS you use.

When buying a toothbrush, you should be careful not to buy a toothbrush with strong bristles, as these can damage your otherwise healthy teeth, causing sensitivity and gum sensitivity:
- the brush head size should not be too large, so that hard-to-reach areas at the back can be cleaned properly
- buying soft-bristled toothbrushes is also beneficial because the more flexible bristles can get into the interdental spaces more easily, and they can massage your gums without scratching them, while helping to prevent gingivitis.

If you want to clean your teeth even more thoroughly, use an ELECTROMIC TOOTHBRUSH, including a sonic toothbrush. These toothbrushes now vibrate in the ultrasonic range, making it easier to remove plaque. The electric toothbrush has many advantages when used properly!
Whichever toothbrush you choose, you won’t get the right results without the right brushing technique, so ask your dentist for help to learn it.
As a complement to brushing, it is very important to use a FOGSELYEM, or FACER. These dental cleaning tools can be used to clean hard-to-reach areas, especially in tight interdental spaces and under bridges to avoid tooth decay.

If you can, clean your teeth every day before brushing in the evening, and then use a mouth rinse to complete the perfect oral care routine.
