• Spend enough time in rushing the teeth.
  Brush your teeth for at least two-three minutes every time. The best way to ensure that you spend enough time in brushing is by playing your favorite song while you brush. This way, you will also find yourself relaxed during the activity.

• Be gentle to the teeth while brushing.
  Avoid brush your teeth too hard. Brushing hard harms both the teeth enamel and the gums. Your gums may bleed if you are rough on your teeth.

• Do not brush too soon.
  Do not brush too soon after eating or drinking. Wait for about an hour before you brush. The acids in the food make the enamel soft and susceptible to damage. The enamel hardens itself after some time. There should be an interval of 45-60 minutes between eating food and brushing.

• Avoid scraping your tongue too much.
  It is important not to scrape your tongue too hard. Scraping too much can cause bacteria to build up in the pores of the tongue, making way for diseases in the mouth.

• Visit your dentist regularly.
  Ideally, you should visit your dentist every six months. However, you should not ignore any problem in your mouth any time between the visits, however insignificant the problem may look.

Happy smiling!
