Common brushing mistakes
You might think you know how to brush your teeth correctly. After all, if you’ve been brushing your teeth twice a day for almost all your life, then you’ve had a lot of practice by now.
However, it’s surprisingly easy to make mistakes when brushing. For that reason, we’ve compiled a list of the most common mistakes people make when brushing their teeth.
Are you guilty of making any of the mistakes on our list? To find out what they are, read on.
Brushing too hard
Lots of people are guilty of this one. They use too much force when brushing their teeth, which erodes the enamel and gums. Over time, your teeth can feel sensitive if you keep brushing them too hard.
The key is to brush your teeth gently. Use a small, gentle circular motion instead of a hard scrubbing motion. This is just as effective and it won’t harm your teeth.
Brushing just after eating
Lots of people brush their teeth just after having eaten breakfast. This is, in fact, one of the worst times you can brush your teeth. When you eat, your mouth becomes more acidic, especially if you have something with a high pH, like orange juice. The acidity softens your teeth and makes them vulnerable. If you brush your teeth at this point, you could damage them. Ideally, you should wait instead for 30-60 minutes for your teeth to reharden.
Rinsing your mouth after brushing
Another common mistake people make is to rinse their mouth after brushing. Some people use water whereas other people prefer mouthwash. Whatever you use to rinse, you should do it before you brush your teeth, not after. If you rinse your mouth after you brush, you’ll remove all the helpful fluoride that was in the toothpaste.
Brushing too often
Some people brush their teeth several times a day, thinking they’re doing their teeth a good service. However, it’s not good to brush your teeth too often. It can erode your enamel and make your teeth sensitive, not to mention weaken your gums. It’s best to just brush your teeth twice a day and no more than that. The same goes for the amount of time you brush – only brush for more than two minutes at a time, no longer.
Not brushing enough
The opposite problem is not brushing enough. Some people think they can get away with just brushing their teeth once a day. Other people reckon they can just brush for half a minute and that will be enough.
It’s important to brush your teeth enough to protect your teeth and gums from disease. Make sure you’re brushing twice a day, for two minutes at a time.
Not brushing your gums
Another very common mistake is failing to brush your gums. It’s why lots of people have plaque on the area where their gums meet their teeth. Make sure to brush your gums carefully, or else you could get gum disease.
Not replacing your toothbrush enough
Finally, it’s also important to replace your toothbrush often. Many people don’t do this, and they let their toothbrush get old and worn-down. This isn’t good because it means

My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn’t stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn’t feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email odungaspelltemple@gmail.com
ReplyHello everyone, I am really grateful to God for leading my way to meet Doctor Odunga who gave me the winning numbers to the Powerball lottery to win $1.3 Billion Dollars. My name is Cheng Saephan, I am 46 years old and I have been diagnosed with Cancer for over 8 years now. I live in Portland, Oregon. My wife Duanpen has done everything she can to cure me of this illness until a friend of hers Laiza Chao introduced Doctor Odunga to her that he can cure all types of illness. My wife told me about this man and I didn’t say much but thank God she did contact him through his email. I quickly learned that this man can also make people win the lottery and I just couldn’t resist asking him first to do a lottery spell for me because I have been playing the lottery almost everyday since I can remember. It didn’t take time at all when this man gave me the winning numbers for the Powerball and I played it and won the Powerball Jackpot of $1.3 Billion Dollars. This man blessed my family and also cured me of Cancer. Thank You Doctor Odunga. I have testified about your work sir and hope to bring serious ones to you for help too.
