  should consider buying a good quality power
  toothbrush.

  soft, dont forget to change it. The average use
  of a toothbrush is every three months.

Do Floss at least Once a Day

  practice because of its great benefits. Floss in
  many ways and in many times. One of the best ways
  to remove plaque in places where your toothbrush
  cant reach is through flossing.

  disease and tooth decay. Dental experts said that
  brushing your teeth Is only 50 percent of the job
  and the other 50 percent is the flossing.

  times a day is not right. Doing so can damage the
  teeths root surface through abrading it can
  also cause gum recession.

  eating fibrous food such as celery, carrots and
  apples.

  diseases of both children and adults is tooth
  decay, which is preventable.

  diet. The oral bacteria consumes sugar that
  releases acid which attacks the teeth then causes
  cavities or tooth decay.

  your mouth is dry, the biofilm or plaque
  accumulation increases as well as your risk for
  periodontal or gum disease and tooth decay.
