Brush Up on Your Brushing

February 6, 2009

There’s nothing better than that nice, clean feeling of sliding your tongue along perfectly polished teeth or braces in the morning. Bye bye, yucky morning breath! Go away, froggy throat!

Not to mention, keeping your teeth and gums healthy is key to health for the rest of your body. Making these great habits now has been shown to make a big different in the future. The earlier you start caring about your mouth, the better.

Here are some tips for brushing your teeth the right way:

  • Take enough toothpaste so that it is about the size of a pea on your toothbrush.
  • Don’t just stick with the teeth up front, those get enough action. Start brushing your back left or right top teeth, then make your way across your top teeth to the other side. Repeat the same thing on the bottom row.
  • Brush the tops, fronts and backs of your teeth, especially the backs of your front bottom teeth — that’s where a lot of icky bacteria and plaque build up!
  • Spend about two minutes brushing… that averages out to about 30 seconds per quarter of your mouth.
  • If you need help, there are toothpastes that coat your teeth with color, showing you where you need to brush. Some cats really like having a visual aid!
  • You can also get a toothbrush with an automatic two-minute timer so that you’re not guessing when it comes to how long you’ve brushed.

There are 1,440 minutes in a day. You can definitely take four of those to make brushing a healthy habit, morning and night.
