Perfect technique is important too. The best way to clean your teeth is to hold the brush at a 45-degree angle using short strokes and an up and down motion. Brushing like this will help remove any plaque or bacteria that can build up on the teeth and gums. Most dentists recommend brushing for a minimum of two minutes to thoroughly remove plaque and combat bad breath. When brushing off those sugar bugs you want to make sure your little ghosts and goblins brush for a full two minutes as well.<\/p>\n
When brushing, be gentle and avoid brushing too hard. Make sure the entire mouth gets cleaned by brushing the outer and inner tooth surfaces, back molars, and by doing a few passes over the tongue, a popular spot for bacteria. Using a soft toothbrush is very important and make sure you can get in all the tight spots.<\/p>\n
Your best tip to fight Halloween sugar? \u00a0Make sure your toothbrush is still effective.\u00a0If the bristles are starting to separate or look frayed it is probably time for a new one. Three to four months is usually a good guideline for toothbrush longevity.<\/p>\n
Using the right toothpaste and toothbrush ensures that you will chase those sugar bugs away for good!<\/p>\n
Happy Trick or Treating!<\/p>\n
