- teeth brushing is performed only in the morning. Teeth brushing is
more important in the evening because it removes food debris accumulated during the day. - eating snacks or drinking sugar drinks (like Coca Cola) after brushing.
- brushing the teeth only on the outside surface. Teeth should be brushed on all surfaces even if some of them are harder to reach.
- brushing with “full force”. This may cause sensitive teeth, gums retraction, enamel attrition.
- over-using a toothbrush (with curve bristles). This leads to improper teeth cleaning.
- improper brushing technique – horizontal brushing. Brushing should be done vertically, for the upper teeth and the lower teeth, from the gum to the tooth.
- brushing the teeth too often. This can lead to an accelerated damage
of the teeth. - a too short brushing. It should last at least 3 minutes.
- an improper toothbrush cleaning. After brushing rinse the brush under running water and repeatedly beat the edge on the sink.
- failing to floss. This procedure can prevent stains and cavities between the teeth.
