Brushing of the teeth is a healthy habit. It is a way of keeping oneself clean. But what is the right way of brushing our teeth?

First of all, choose a good quality toothbrush. According to dentists, soft bristled brush can help for getting rid of plaque and harmful bacteria.

When it comes to brushing teeth, you must ensure that you are neither too soft nor too hard on your teeth. There are some people who skip a lot of teeth while brushing, leading to formation of bacteria and other dental problems.

Similarly, there are also many people who brush vigorously and are harsh on their gums and teeth and this in turn can damage teeth and also lead to bleeding gums. You should follow moderation and proper brushing techniques so that you have clean and bacteria free teeth.

Proper brushing takes at least two minutes — that's right, 120 seconds!

Concentrate on thoroughly cleaning each section as follows:

1. Clean the outer surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower teeth
2. Clean the inner surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower teeth
3. Clean the chewing surfaces
4. For fresher breath, be sure to brush your tongue, too
There you go! Be sure to brush your teeth every after meal so that you will have a whitey and glamorous smile that could surely change your life!
