How many times a day should I brush my teeth?

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The best oral hygiene maintenance method is to brush your teeth with a soft or medium toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. The electronic toothbrush does not offer any real additional benefit to normal individuals. It is the movements of the toothbrush made by our hands that bring about thorough cleaning. Most of the toothpastes available in the market are good as long as they contain up to 1000 ppm fluoride. Brushing three times is good. The main goal is to clean the food deposits from all areas. Rinsing the mouth after meals is good yet a simple method to keep the mouth clean. Using a mouthwash causes no real problem in relation to upsetting the microflora or healthy bacteria. You can continue to use it once a day. Professional cleaning is recommended every 6 to 12 months, depending on your plaque and calculus forming tendency. Due to plaque deposition over a long period there is temporary decalcification that might occur on the tooth surface. Thus, on professional cleaning when it is removed there will a slight increased sensitivity. However, it does not remove the enamel layer at a significant level. So, once we continue to use the fluoride toothpaste with a toothbrush, along with natural fluoride in water, the tooth surface gets remineralized. And then, the sensitivity disappears.
