  2. Most of us like to brush our teeth in the morning and many people have a habit to do the same in the night. But this practice is not particularly essential for maintaining a healthy mouth. Even there can be some bad habits which you are performing on a regular basis, some of which you suppose they are favorable. In order to get the cleanest mouth around, there is a need to stop performing those bad habits. At the same brushing habit which is a very important part of our daily routine can turn out to be a habit which can damage your gums and teeth. Below are the 11 Everyday Brushing habits that might cause damage to the gums and teeth. The ultimate guide for you to Unfollow 11 habits and improves your oral health to save your gums and teeth.

  3. Habit#1:Opting For Hard Brushing Some things need to be done softly. The same way, there is a need to brush with soft hands as brushing with a hard attempt can irritate the gums and damage the teeth. There can be infections and scratches if too much pressure is created with the brush or if you perform it frequently. Plaque is supposed to be loose and soft that makes its removal easier than expected by a person. There can be difficulties in removing the plaque when it hardens to tartar. But a person will not get able to attain that tartar anyway because such things can be better done by the hygienist or dentist. Alongside, there come difficulties for plaque to take place when a person performs regular brushing and flossing. Apart from attempting to make hard attempts, it is better to gently massage parts of teeth like canines, molars, and bicuspids with soft hands and a soft brush.

  4. Habit#2:Don’t Share Toothbrush With Anyone Sometimes when a person gets unable to find a toothbrush of its own, he tries to perform his brushing by someone’s toothbrush, mainly with the partner. We must tell you that sharing a toothbrush with your partner or even with any other person can be pretty gross. We don’t think about all such things very deeply but making the involvement of your partner or spouse with your toothbrush can initiate a swing of germs for which the body isn’t organized. Even there can be chances of getting sick more often because the flu virus can remain on the surface for several hours. Toothbrushes can also harbour problems like HPV, pneumonia, sometimes even bloodborne pathogens. Bacteria that are able to bring cavities, called streptococcus mutans, can also prove to be super infectious. A condition can happen where your partner doesn’t contain any idea if they are encouraging cavity are putting your mouth at risk. If the person next to you doesn’t have the cleanest mouth, chances of getting dental hygiene can happen to you as well.

  5. Habit#3:Don’t Try To Opt For Expiry Dated Brush Somehow for at least once in a life, you would have heard about changing the brush in every three to four months. There has been a recommendation by the American Dental Association (ADA) to change the brush with the beginning of each season. Not only the brushes build up germs over time, but the bristles also get broken or disputed with enlarged use, especially talking about hard brushers. The teeth may also initiate to become discolored and look dirty. Older bristles aren’t able to clean the teeth in the way they should, and eventually uplifting plaque with an accumulation of germ which can harm both teeth and gums. That’s why it is better to change your brush within the ideal time.

  6. Habit#4:Brushing Is Not About Performing Quickly Sometimes when we get too late to go somewhere, an idea comes to the mind to quickly brush the teeth and call it a morning. And why not, attempting to brush quickly for 30 seconds sound better than not brushing at all. If the same perspective arises in your mind as well, we must tell you that thinking is totally wrong. A tooth requires gentle brushing for at least a matter of two minutes, quickly brushing for a formality can’t really help the teeth. If you go for brushing quickly, there are lots of things that leave behind the mouth like plaque, germs and food and such things are able to cause destruction to the mouth. Fluoride is supposed to be a well-wisher of the teeth. A person will have to provide time to fluoride to work its magic in the teeth. More than half a minute is required to improve the enamel. If brushing seems to be a boring activity, you can indulge in another work and keep on moving brush into the mouth for some time that will particularly help.

  7. Habit#5:Avoid Brushing Right After Meal If maintaining oral care is one of your top priorities and you execute brushing after every meal, it is supposed to be a good activity, but do you have any idea that it might be causing more harm as compared to good. Though it is recommended for a person to brush after a meal, brushing just after taking meal can be counterproductive. When a person eats, acidity from the food gets remained in his mouth when completed. If he wishes to perform harsh brush just after following a meal, he is providing a chance for those acids in accessing better to sensitive parts of the tooth. Such practices can contribute towards enamel erosion and can lead to more sensitive teeth in the upcoming time. In order to save yourselves from such acids from wearing down the teeth, it is better to keep a distance of 15 to 20 minutes between meal and brushing. This activity will allow saliva in neutralizing and breaking down the acids in the mouth before they make their work into the fine lines on the teeth. If you can’t wait for even that long, try to rinse the mouth with proper basis before brushing. It will assist in driving out some of the acids before you opt for brushing.

  8. Habit#6:Don’t Ignore The Gums It is thinking of many people that gums get cleaned when we brush the teeth. And why not, they are attached to them. Brushing the gums with the help of ultra-soft bristles can prove to be a good alternative for a person. It will be a good move if someone opts for brushing their teeth with pressure with the help of PeriClean ultra-soft rubber bristles as it will allow their teeth to get the cleaning they require and not damaging tooth enamel or gums.

  9. Habit#7: Involve Cleaning Of The Tongue Try to remember that not brushing your tongue along with teeth is advantageous. It can be helpful in preventing bad breath or any remaining bacteria in the mouth. The bristles of the brush must perform a decent job at loosening potentially harmful bacteria. One can rinse with mouthwash after completing the brushing for added germ expulsion.

  10. Habit#8:Go For Soft Bristles Don’t try to opt for medium or hard-bristled toothbrushes. Instead, try to go for soft-bristled that have a capability to bend more easily that makes them great for the gum line. They wouldn’t damage the teeth as they are less harsh than hard-bristled toothbrushes. People having sensitive teeth or weakened enamel can proceed towards soft bristle toothbrushes instead of hard bristled toothbrushes that can contribute towards receding gum line and weakening the enamel. That’s why it is better to advance for soft-bristled toothbrushes as compared to the harder ones.

  11. Habit#9:You’re Opting A Wrong Toothbrush Altogether As mentioned in the above topic, soft-bristled toothbrushes are best instead of medium or hard-bristled toothbrushes that can provide an intensely uncomfortable brushing experience. In this modern era, electric toothbrushes have been introduced. They can be considered as a good option for people having tougher gums or those who find difficulties in moving their arms to execute right brushing techniques. Though electric toothbrushes combined with vibrating or rotating heads can still prove harmful to those people who have weakened enamel or sensitive gum lines. Even if you are going to choose an electric brush or any other type of toothbrush, it is important to keep in mind about the pros and cons linked with each one. If there is a thought to go for manual toothbrushes, various options are there to help in discontinuing recession of the gum line and ensuring healthiest mouth. Companies like Periclean avoid the use of ruthless nylon brushes; instead, they go for ultra-soft, non-latex rubber bristles that are helpful in preventing further damage while still maintaining a fresh and clean mouth.

  12. Habit#10:Make A Proper Place Of Your Toothbrush Placing your brush somewhere like leaving it on the counter, putting it in the holder, or storing it in a travel container can prompt the build-up of germs and shape on the toothbrush. Try to avoid keeping toothbrushes in an upright position in the open air. This allows a chance for bristles to get dry before opting it for the next time. Also, don’t try to leave on the counter where the liquid puddles around the brush and avoid storing it into the travel container or other enclosed space as utilizing a storage container will lock in the moisture from the brush causing different types of fungi and germs to produce in the enclosed or damp environment. You can pursue a simple toothbrush holder to store the brush. If the holder is sharing different types of toothbrushes, try to make sure that your brush contains separate holes to restrict the bristles in touch with each other. In order to stay away from some extra bacteria taking place on your brush, try to keep it away from the toilet or any open windows. And why not, toothbrushes are implemented every day in our mouth.

  13. Habit#11:Try To Change Up The Routine It has been said that running the same track every day is helpful in making one half of the body stronger than the other. For battling with this, one must try to run in the opposite direction or it will be better to change up the run altogether. Talking about the teeth, when a person brushes them in the same way, only the same old spots will be cleaned. It will be helpful for those parts, but the neglected locations will get a bright chance to slowly accumulating more bacteria. That’s why it is better to make an experiment with your brushing habits and tracking the progress of mouth. If you’re not completely aware of good brushing habits, they can harm your teeth and gums. Don’t let that happen and try to make implementations in your brushing habits. Different ways are there to maintain good oral hygiene. If someone is still getting unable to do that, try to consult it with your doctor or dentist for further help.
