2. Tooth
brushing is the best method to remove plaque and proper method of brushing can
minimize the dental diseases. Always use a good tooth paste and a good quality
brush with soft bristles and a handle that fits comfortably in your mouth and hand. Truly speaking you
must brush your teeth regularly after meal and minimum twice a day, especially
at night before going to bed. Brush must be changed when bristles get curled
off.
