Brush Slowly and Properly. Remember they are your own set of Teeth
Brushing doesn’t mean applying paste to the brush and merely start brushing. It’s better not to do something without the dedication than to do it for the sake of it. Before you start brushing your teeth remember to have 2 cups of warm water empty stomach as this helps you to get rid of the foul smell you sense while brushing. Take your time, move the toothbrush in gentle, circular motions to remove plaque. Brushing doesn’t only mean the lower arch and the upper arch but also covering the inner most areas of your mouth. Unremoved plaque can harden, leading to calculus build up and gingivitis (early gum disease).

Do not even think of neglecting your Tongue
Plaque is something that can be built up anywhere within the mouth. Having said that, it can also build up on your tongue. Not only does it lead to bad mouth odour but also Stickiness on your tongue, change of tongue colour etc. It can lead to other oral health problems too. Gently brush your tongue every time you brush your teeth.

Time to keep Plaque at bay.

Visit your Dentist once in every 3 Months
