Toothbrush tips for a healthy smile


Everyone knows the golden oral hygiene rule: visit the dentist at least twice a year for a check-up. But even if the trip is covered by your trusted medical aid plan, you want to avoid unplanned trips to the dentist at all costs. 

That’s why you brush, floss and rinse daily, but what more can you do to ensure a super healthy smile?

Studies done by dental professionals say that “there is insufficient clinical evidence to support that bacterial growth on toothbrushes will lead to specific adverse oral or systemic health effects”. So, there is no reason to be too compulsive, your toothbrush is not going to make you sick.
