Why Brushing Twice a Day Might Not Be Enough

The Secret to Better Breath and Whiter Teeth

 

Everyone knows the importance of brushing your teeth, and everyone knows you should be brushing in the morning and at night. But not many people know that you can actually help yourself - and your oral health - by brushing your teeth a third time.

In fact, brushing your teeth three times a day is even better than brushing your teeth twice, as it gives you an opportunity to brush after each time you eat a major meal. And considering brushing is one of the most important ways you can manage your oral health, this will help reduce the chances of you suffering from teeth stains and decay. (1)

Knowing to brush your teeth three times a day is one thing, but it’s another to know what to BRUSH with and WHY, as not all oral care products are going to help you. 

Instead, it’s important you opt for 100% ALL-NATURAL ORAL CARE PRODUCTS that are FLUORIDE-FREE and CHEMICAL-FREE, which will not only BOOST your oral health, but STRENGTHEN your teeth and gums.

In this blog we talk about the benefits of brushing your teeth three times a day, and how you can enjoy a more RADIANT and HEALTHY smile today!

 

 

THREE TIMES A DAY

 

 

The best way to clean your teeth is to simply clean the bacteria and food off of them. Sounds simple and easy, right? Well, many people aren’t following the necessary guidelines of brushing their teeth – two minutes, twice a day. Not brushing this required time will actually lead to the need to brush an additional third time.

This third time should be separated from when you eat foods high in acid and drinks high in sugar. The high acid levels of these foods and drinks requires time for your saliva to get rid of their negative effects, enabling you to have a clean slate for brushing and your oral health. (2) (3)

 

Brushing your teeth will also help prevent a buildup of tartar – a necessary component of staving off gum disease. Brushing your teeth this extra time is important because hardened plaque that has become tartar can be dangerous both in the short and long term to your health. (4)

 

QUICK TIP: Don’t be aggressive while brushing your teeth – and be sure to brush with the right ALL-NATURAL INGREDIENTS. After all, even the best habits can be undone with the wrong ingredients! (5)

 

Not to scare you, but you’re on the clock when it comes to your oral health. Bacteria grows quickly in your mouth, and can grow so fast that when not cleaned properly, it can literally begin to cause tooth decay, weaker roots, and gums by the end of one day.

The aforementioned tartar can then arise from lingering unhealthy brushing habits, and this tartar does not leave. If you don’t want a buildup of this tartar – and the eventual gum bleeding it causes – you need to make sure you’re brushing often and efficiently. (6)

Simply brushing in the morning is not enough. That’s because you’re not just trying to freshen breath, which you can even do with an ALL-NATURAL FLUORIDE-FREE MOUTHWASH. When you’re brushing your teeth, you’re also protecting your enamel and roots, which will stop a debilitating growth of tooth decay. (7)

 

 

A ROUTINE YOU NEED

 

 

To better understand the importance of brushing three times a day, it’s good to know what a cavity is. A cavity is actually a small hole on your tooth, which can eventually lead to long-term oral problems that can be as significant as the loss of the affected tooth.

Brushing your teeth this extra time can also freshen your breath, which is especially important during long afternoons at work and school. Being able to freshen your breath will help your teeth and your social life, as you’ll feel more confident to develop better relationships and more meaningful bonds – with less self-consciousness - as a result of your fresher breath. (8)

 

The bad microbes that lead to bad breath build up over time. What this means is that the more often you brush your teeth, the better likelihood that you’ll be able reduce the particles of food stuck in your teeth, thus preventing the buildup of halitosis and unwanted bad breath. (9)

 

QUICK TIP: Not only should you brush your teeth, but including ALL-NATURAL MOUTHWASH as part of your ALL-NATURAL CARE ROUTINE can help boost and strengthen your oral health too. Add FLUORIDE-FREE MOUTHWASH to your oral routine to clean those parts of your mouth brushing can't clean alone! (10)

 

Allowing bacteria to sit on your teeth will eventually cause unwanted cavities, simple as that, so it's important you don't let busyness be an excuse when it comes to your oral health. Make the time to make your health a priority, and be sure to prevent cavities by adding this third brushing to your DAILY ROUTINE.

Gum disease is also something you need to watch out for when brushing. Bacteria that is left to linger without being cleaned can cause you to have to opt for other, less healthy alternatives like sugary mints and foods to mask morning breath (and afternoon breath) that brushing your teeth would help remove.  (11)

It’s also important that you go FLUORIDE-FREE, as brushing your teeth three times a day with fluoride can lead to excessive – and dangerous – intakes of fluoride. This can be dangerous to children, leading to fluorosis – a disease that can actually tarnish children's permanent teeth. (12)
