QuoteListerine is always a good thing too. or increase brushing your teeth to 3 times a day or 4 times a day maybe?

Dont do this because if you scrub too much youll end up rubbing off the enamel from your teeth, and eventually get tooth rot. Youll also damage your gums and end up with all sorts of gum diseases.

This isnt true, but it is recommended that you brush your teeth at least twice a day in a vertical/circular movement and make sure the brush comes into contact with the gums .i.e brush your gums as well, and use only a soft toothbrush if you do tend to scrub your teeth very hard or you can wear a groove into your teeth making them more sensitive.

It should be done gently anyway, scrubbing your teeth hard can cause as many problems as not doing it at all

There is also the issue of eating too much sugary/acidic food.

Alternatively use an electric rotary brush or one of the vibrating ones.

How my dentist/hygenist recommended I brush.

Grab electric toothbrush, doesnt have to be a fancy one.

Squirt toothpaste onto a clean finger, rub finger around mouth making sure you coat all your teeth with toothpaste.

In a circular motion work around your mouth brushing both the inside and outside surfaces of your teeth.

Buy some interdental brushes (better than floss) and brush between your teeth.

Rinse.

Twice daily.
