Most people have grown so accustomed to brushing their teeth that it’s almost second nature for them. Unfortunately, the brushing habits adopted by most people actually place their teeth and gums at risk. Improper brushing habits only do more harm than good, so it’s important to correct them as soon as possible. Reflect on the following questions to help you assess your current brushing habits: Are you using the right toothbrush? Using a medium or a hard bristle toothbrush can easily wear out enamel due to their abrasive nature. Similarly, brushing your teeth using such toothbrushes may cause your gums to recede, exposing the surface of your teeth’s roots. The roots aren’t as hard as your teeth’s enamel, making it more susceptible to wear and cavities. Avoid these scenarios by using a soft bristle toothbrush.
