Common mistakes in tooth brushing can harm oral health. These include:
• Brushing too hard, leading to enamel wear and gum irritation
• Using a toothbrush with hard bristles
• Neglecting to brush for at least two minutes
• Overlooking the gumline and tongue
Correct Technique:
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to the gums. Apply gentle, circular
motions and avoid scrubbing aggressively. Ensure you brush all surfaces of the teeth,
including the back and chewing surfaces.

plaque
• Replacing your toothbrush every 3 months or sooner if the bristles are worn
Additionally, limiting sugary snacks and acidic drinks, staying hydrated, and attending
regular dental check-ups contribute to long-term oral health.
