  • Is brushing your teeth once a day okay?

    Brushing your teeth once a day is better than none at all, but the American Dental Association recommends brushing two times per day for two minutes each time. Brushing your teeth helps remove plaque buildup, which is the soft, sticky film on your teeth that contains millions of bacteria. The bacteria in plaque cause cavities and gum disease if not removed regularly with brushing and flossing. When it's not removed in a timely manner, it turns hard and hard to remove, at which point it is referred to as calculus or tartar and only a professional dental cleaning can remove it effectively. The bacteria in plaque and tartar are what contribute to bad breath. When you wake up in the morning with 'morning breath', it's because that plaque has been accumulating on your teeth throughout the night. Brushing helps remove it and freshen your breath so your co-workers don't mind working with you! Brushing your teeth is also a big way to prevent cavities by using a fluoridated toothpaste. The fluoride in toothpaste helps to remineralize and repair teeth that have cavities starting by replacing the building blocks in the teeth that have been lost. READ MORE
