Most people are taught how to brush their teeth as a child and it seems they often stick with what they were told, no matter how long ago it was. However as years go by research comes up with a host of different policies but how many of us pick up the new advice?
For it seems many people are not brushing their teeth in the way many dentists now recommend. For despite the fears of a minty meal experts say we should clean our teeth for two minutes - BEFORE we have our breakfast.
One mumsnetter told how they had been to the dentist this week only to be told they had been getting it wrong all their life. DoIreallybrushmyteeththen asked fellow posters if it was unreasonable to only be discovering this now after years of cleaning their teeth after the first meal of the day.
