Do you really brush your teeth twice a day?!?!


Question: YES...Why is brushing so important? Because it interrupts the growth of plaque--a thin, sticky film of bacteria that plays a primary role in tooth decay and gum disease. When you brush your teeth, you remove most of the plaque-causing bacteria. But some stay behind. These bacteria can set up a colony and begin damaging your teeth within 24 hours--which is why dentists recommend brushing twice a day to consistently interrupt their growth.

Flossing is another important component of cleaning your teeth and interrupting bacteria growth. It should be done at least once a day, before brushing.

Yes, it keeps you from getting cavities and you have better breath. Flossing is good too, I don't do it enough because it is hard with my braces.
