There are many ways of keeping your mouth free of bacteria and plaque in central Leeds; flossing, inter-dental brushing and mouthwashes, but of course, all of these are designed to back up the main player in all of this- the toothbrush. The reason you brush is to remove film from the surfaces of your teeth left by food and drink, even the staining left by smoking. The smoother the surfaces of your teeth are, the more difficult it is for bacteria to stick to your teeth’s enamel, and brushing will do this. Of course you need to find a good brush first and there are many to choose from, so you will have to test a few out first in order to get one that suits your teeth and gums. Once you have got the right bristle strength for your mouth, then it is down to choosing the type of brush. The more popular today are electric brushes as they work faster and more efficiently than you using a hand held brush. However, whatever you go for, you need to learn to use the brush properly; people tend to rush when brushing and think the job is done: take your time and ensure you brush thoroughly in the nooks and crannies. If you get your basic brushing right, and follow it up with other products, you should have a plaque free mouth for life.
