Many people think that brushing your teeth twice a day is enough to maintain good oral health.
However, considering that teeth only comprise 25% of the mouth, brushing alone may not be enough to prevent bad breath, gingivitis and guard against cavities.
The bristles on a toothbrush and the mechanical act of brushing are great for scrubbing the surface of the teeth, but the mouth consists of many other hard-to-reach parts.
To maintain an excellent level of oral hygiene and ensure your entire mouth is cared for, you should consider a more holistic approach.
