10 Mistakes You Make While Taking Care of Your Teeth

How to whiten your teeth and see the dentist less often? Why brushing your teeth too hard might be dangerous? Here are the 10 most common mistakes and myths about taking care of your teeth.
"What do I do wrong?", thousands of people ask themselves before their appointment at the dentist. "I brush my teeth twice a day and still come to my dentist as regularly as if it was my job!" Are you one of those people? Do you believe that brushing your teeth twice a day "keeps a doctor away"? We have a surprise for you: that's far from being enough for a perfect smile.
TIMESTAMPS
Don't press the toothbrush too hard 0:50

Use additional tooth-cleaning devices 2:03
Don't use water to rinse your mouth 2:39
Take care of your gums 3:16

Don't chew only on one side of our mouth 5:13

Teach your kids to take care of their teeth properly 6:31
SUMMARY
- Try not to be too "pushy" while cleaning your teeth. Also, take into consideration that a softer toothbrush will be more effective. What is more, choose the one with a small head - it will be easier to reach all the corners of your mouth.
- We usually receive the necessary everyday dose of fluorine with water. However, if you live in a region where the water has a low concentration of fluorine, you should eat more foods containing this element, such as milk, salt, etc.
- You can also obtain an oral irrigator. It is like a shower for your teeth and gums which you can use after each brushing session.
- Instead of rinsing your mouth, just spit toothpaste. Also, you can use mouthwash. But try not to drink anything for about thirty minutes after brushing your teeth.
- To make your gums stronger, you need to massage them with your toothbrush or finger with circular movements. Eat solid food, and chew it thoroughly.
- Have a hygienic cleaning procedure at least once a year. Your dentist can advise you on the proper frequency for your teeth condition.
- If you feel embarrassed to wear regular braces, you can always choose invisible lingual ones which are placed on the back side of the teeth. Don't hesitate to make an appointment with an orthodontist.
- Pay attention when eating, try to chew your food on both sides of your mouth. Don't forget to eat solid food, such as fruit and vegetables. It will make your teeth stronger.
- A good idea is at least to cover your toothbrush with a lid. But better still, keep it in your cabinet or nightstand. And always close the lid of the toilet bowl before you flush.
- Teach your children to brush their teeth carefully. Perhaps it's worth taking the procedure of fissure sealing (a specific dental treatment intended to prevent tooth decay).

So true! Everytime I don't see my dentist for an extended period of time, the last time was two years ago I seen him since once and no cavities in all that time. Now if I see him on a regular basis he suggests every 3 months, I'm sure to have more cavities.

Started using a lil of the fluoride mouthwash.

[@frankmontez6853]

I find it very hard to believe that the flushing toilet will get toothbrush contaminated. And you're the only one who says don't rinse with water. Yes Colgate and many others for many years have claimed that fluoride can stay on teeth after brushing. I've started to learn more about caring for my teeth / gums after much neglect I'm sorry to admit. Even called dental clinic when hygienist mentioned she saw a cavity and I was very surprised since I been very good brushing, flossing etc. Saw dentist and it was a filling that fell out and he refilled it. Using electric toothbrush now after hygienist recommended it to me.

[@brians1793]

Don't know why I'm bothering, using toothpaste with fluoride and glycerin is just a bad idea, not rinsing toothpaste with fluoride is even worse. Glycerin coats teeth which can prevent stains, but also prevents teeth from remineralizing naturally. Earthpaste doesn't have glycerin, and the minerals in the clay will strengthen teeth. It goes really great with Peelu tooth powder(their toothpaste has glycerin), peelu root has a natural mild chlorine which whitens teeth. The tooth powder has way more peelu root anyway than the paste, so it's way better. Earthpaste topped with that. Glad I mainly drink well water too, not fluoridated. Ever since I cut sweets and strictly avoided fluoride and tooth polishing at the dentist, and switched to Earthpaste I've had no cavities for years, even just brushing once before bed mostly, still don't brush mornings as much as I should. But from now on I'm doing oil pulling mornings at least 2x a week, let a tablespoon of coconut oil sit in your mouth for 15-20 mins, spit and rinse it out then brush. Helps remove toxins and aids in plaque removal.
