Beautiful smile :)

They say the most beautiful thing about a person is their smile. So why do people not put much thought into the health of their teeth?

Some might say they are too busy to brush, floss and maintain their teeth but it is crucial to maintain a healthy mouth. Some people believe others get perfect teeth from their good genes while this is partly true it is not merely the reason. Some people even put the blame on their parents and say they are the cause of their bad teeth.  Most people believe they are doing all they can to clean their teeth the right way but in fact they are damaging them even more. Dentist Mark Burhenne explains that brushing your teeth back and fourth will cause the enamel on your teeth to erode while also increasing the likelihood of your teeth becoming sensitive to hot and cold foods and liquids. Also over brushing can increase your chances of developing cavities and receding gums. The bristles move in a back and fourth motion which means they bounce off the surface of teeth rather than getting in between them.

The solution for this is to use small circular motions with your brush in the direction of your gum growth, also placing your toothbrush at a 45 degree angle where the teeth meet the gums.
