. Brush your teeth before eating

If you clean your teeth within an hour of eating, you will brush off your enamel.

So brush your teeth before you have breakfast and, if you want to ensure that sugar, acid or debris isn’t left in your mouth after a meal, simply drink a glass of water or chew sugar-free gum to restore your dental pH levels.

 

2. How to brush properly

 

  • Spend two minutes twice a day on the task.
  • Brush your teeth systematically, working your way from one corner of the mouth to the other, making sure you brush all the surfaces.
  • Use just a smear of toothpaste and don’t brush too hard. Tickle the teeth and gums – that’s all the pressure you need.
  • Don’t rinse with water at all – just spit out what’s left in your mouth. By not rinsing, the fluoride stays in your mouth longer and continues to do its job.
