Have you every thought of toothbrushing as a skill?

A simple daily habit overlooked by so many as being just ‘something we have to do’ but have you ever really thought about toothbrushing and what you're actually brushing your teeth for?

The aim of toothbrushing is to remove plaque bacteria. Plaque bacteria is a mix of your saliva, left over food particles and bacteria. Sounds gross right? Well it is, worst still is that poor oral hygiene means that this plaque bacteria is left on the surface of your enamel when not removed daily with effective toothbrush and appropriate interdental cleaning. 

Imagine not brushing your teeth properly and allowing this bacteria to live and grow on the surface of your smile. Doesn’t sound nice does it? Luckily there are products available that you can buy to help you remove this plaque daily, that allow you to protect your smile from the harmful damaging affects that bacteria can cause. Left on the surface of your teeth bacteria will metabolise sugar found in the foods and drinks that you consume and produce acid. This acid weakens your enamel and results in cavities forming. Also the presence of this plaque upsets your gum issue. Your bone will protect itself from this plaque bacteria by receding, meaning you could develop gum disease, bone loss and tooth loss due to ineffective oral care.

I’m sure most of you agree that you try to look after your smile as best as possible, your most likely agree that you could floss a little more, but who flosses? Besides bad teeth and gum disease runs in your family and your teeth have always bleed so there is no reason to be concerned? Right?.. Wrong. Bleeding gums are one of the first signs of gum disease (not present in those that smoke, a topic to be discussed in another blog) Bleeding gums should never be ignored. 

So what can you do? You could head to the supermarket and pick up the fanciest most expensive toothbrush on the shelf, you could buy the most expensive toothpaste you can find or you could spend your time investing into learning how to brush your teeth.

That’s right, toothbrushing is a skill, a skill that can be learnt at any age. You could visit your dental care professional and ask for a thorough in surgery demonstration on how to use your toothbrush and interdental cleaning brushes/floss. You could go to university and learn how to brush like I did? 5 years at the dental academy learning how to brush my teeth and care for my patients smiles. I believe everyone deserves to have access to up to date & effective oral care, that’s why I created The 28 Day Smile.

The 28 Day Smile is an innovative oral hygiene program designed to give you the knowledge and understanding needed to care for your teeth so that you can smile for life.
