The back side of your teeth and the teeth way back inside the mouth are difficult to reach while brushing. A good amount of food particles is sure to accumulate on these places. This will cause the growth of bacteria and germs which over time will become plaque. If we do not get rid of the plaque immediately, it could seriously harm the enamel of the teeth and also penetrate into the gums causing nerve problems. Here are some easy steps to clean the back of your teeth and the inner parts of your mouth.
Choose the right brush – If you have a small mouth and your brush makes you gag often or feels too difficult to move around, you should probably choose a smaller one. The brush should feel comfortable in your mouth and also be good to hold.
Brush the right way – You could Brush like an engineer with the brush at 45 degrees to your teeth and give small strokes. But let’s keep it simple and follow this key advice. More than the brush, it is about the person brushing. So remember to spend at least 2 minutes in front of the mirror and work your way around your mouth carefully. Don’t forget to brush/clean your tongue too.
Floss, floss and floss again – These niche areas that cannot be easily cleaned with a brush will only be accessible with a floss. The backside of the bottom front teeth must be cleaned with a floss gently. Similarly, the molars on the back end of the mouth can also be reached using floss. One must be careful while flossing so as to not cut the gums and cause excessive bleeding (a little bleeding is common)
Brush Regularly – The plaque that forms on teeth when not cleaned properly hardens in about 12 hours. That is why it is necessary to brush twice a day while three times will be ideal. Add flossing and rinsing with an anti-bacterial mouthwash to the 2-minute brushing schedule for the best results.
Once plaque accumulates on the back side of the teeth, it needs professional help to be gotten rid of completely. Choose a Dental Clinic near you and get an appointment for teeth cleaning right away. Follow the above instructions after that and flaunt a perfect set of teeth – front to back!
