A dentist has warned against a very common mistake people make when brushing their teeth.
Dr Sahil Patel, of Marylebone Smile Clinic, has shared some of the common errors people make when brushing their teeth, with the main one being wetting your toothbrush before adding toothpaste. According to the Mirror, this is one of the biggest blunders people make when they go to brush their teeth.
The dentists said: "If you wet the toothbrush before you put the toothpaste on, you're diluting it. Toothpaste already has the right amount of moisture. If it's wet, it makes it foam up faster and makes you spit it out sooner."
