Brushing your teeth is just one of the many daily rituals—or chores, if you prefer—that comes with being human. While this simple hygienic task isn't rocket science, there actually are some do's and don't to keep in mind.
Time It Right
Don't brush your teeth just after you eat. Your enamel will still be in a chemical process, which is started by bacteria, saliva, and food particles interacting. Wait about a half hour.
Time Yourself
Did you know that you should brush your teeth for about two minutes at a time, twice a day? You may want to put a clock or egg timer into your bathroom. A phone or smartwatch will do the job as well.
Switch Hands
Brushing teeth can become pretty routine. Many people start in the same spot every time, and follow the same 'path' around their teeth. Switch it up sometimes!
Just Do It
At the end of the day, the biggest thing is to just make sure that you are staying on top of your dental hygiene. Don't debate over it: just get it done!
