EVERYONE Does THIS Wrong When Brushing Teeth

Let's talk about the DOs and DON'Ts of brushing your teeth :)
You might be brushing your teeth twice a day already, but do you know how to properly brush your teeth? A lot of people think that they do, but they’re actually doing it wrong. When you brush your teeth incorrectly, it can damage your gums or lead to extra tartar buildup and tooth decay. Although I’m a big advocate of electric toothbrushes, most people still use a manual brush. If so, this toothbrushing guide is for you!
Technically, when it comes down to how to properly brush your teeth, you want to be spending at least two minutes. If you time yourself, you’re probably not even doing half of that. Most people only brush for about 30-45 seconds! If you don’t spend the time you need to get your teeth clean, that plaque and tartar buildup will start to catch up with you and cause tooth decay.
