The sensitivity of teeth is usually for a very short duration, lasting for not more than two days at the most. However, if it develops into a recurring habit, then strongly recommended that you visit your dentist at the earliest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\">Correct technique of brushing your teeth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You simply follow the basic technique of whichever method you choose, but after brushing an area, you roll or sweep the bristles toward the chewing surfaces. This action sweeps out debris stuck between the teeth and cleans the entire tooth surface. The sweeping motion also helps prevent damage to the spaces between teeth and gums. Maintaining <a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/6-common-oral-hygiene-mistakes-by-women\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">oral hygiene<\/a> is essential to keep gum diseases at bay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-royal-dental-clinics-blog wp-block-embed-royal-dental-clinics-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"SoLjPNiiP6\"><a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/dental-kit-at-home-can-ease-your-pain\/\">Dental Kit at home can ease your Pain!<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Dental Kit at home can ease your Pain!&#8221; &#8212; Royal Dental Clinics Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/dental-kit-at-home-can-ease-your-pain\/embed\/#?secret=izUZGbI4yi#?secret=SoLjPNiiP6\" data-secret=\"SoLjPNiiP6\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The correct way of brushing technique helps to prevent and control gum disease. It cleans the teeth below the gums where micro-organisms, food debris, and plaque tend to gather. Brushing should performed twice a day irrespective of age. The toothbrush should be changed every 3-4 months for efficient plaque control and maintaining oral hygiene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may replace your toothbrush\u202fevery three to four months. Worn, frayed brushes don\u2019t clean well, and older brushes can harbor bacteria. Don\u2019t forget the fluoride toothpaste, which strengthens tooth enamel and prevents tooth decay. And floss at least once a day to clean where your toothbrush doesn\u2019t reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-qubely-map qubely-block-0db2f9\"><iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"350px\" src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Royal%20Dental%20Clinic%20%7C%20Same%20Day%20Dental%20Implant%20%26%20Cosmetic%20Treatment%2C%20Kandivali%20Thakur%20Complex%2C%20V%20Mall%2C%20Western%20Express%20Hwy%2C%20Kandivali%20East%2C%20Mumbai%2C%20Maharashtra%20400101&amp;t=&amp;z=16&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;iwloc=&amp;output=embed\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-7d812b4c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"tel:+919820446633\" style=\"border-radius:2px;color:#fffffa;background-color:#ba0c49\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Call Now<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--4\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/enquiry5\/\" style=\"border-radius:2px;color:#ba0c49\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get In Touch<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are one of those\u00a0few lucky few\u00a0whose smile has a winning feature of their personality, then take care of your teeth.
