When brushing, make sure you’re getting all the surfaces, especially the tricky inside bits. If you’re using a manual brush, go easy to avoid harming your gums. An electric toothbrush with an oscillating head can do wonders, as it’s more effective at banishing bacteria and leftover food bits. Plus, many newer models tell you if you’re brushing too hard. Aim to brush twice a day for two minutes each time to keep your teeth in great shape.
