What order to Clean your Teeth"},"content":{"rendered":"

Parliament may be dissolved in the run up to the election, so in the absence of a speaker you can rely on Growing Smiles to get your mouth in order!  <\/p>

Many daily\ntasks and activities are done in a specific order. This may be due to a\ntechnical reason that a task should be conducted in that order, for example\nhaving a shower before getting dressed, rather than getting dressed then\nstepping into the shower (!), or it may simply be down to preference such as\nputting milk in your cup of tea before or after the boiled water is added.\nCompleting more technical tasks in the wrong order could result in bigger\nconsequences than the order of habitual tasks. For example, arriving at work in\nsoaking wet clothes (after having a shower in them) may cause not only\ndiscomfort but embarrassment and potentially a cold or worse. <\/p>

The order of caring for your mouth<\/strong> (such as tongue cleaning, interdental brushing and toothbrushing) is important for technical and health reasons i.e. maximum oral hygiene, rather than preference.   <\/p>

Your dental team may have given you specific advice<\/em> to follow based on your individual circumstances, however, this advice is often WHAT <\/strong>to do, and not always WHEN and IN WHAT ORDER <\/strong>to use your oral care products. <\/p>

It\u2019s time to get your mouth in order with Growing Smiles. What\u2019s the verdict?<\/strong><\/h2>
  1. Clean your tongue<\/strong> \u2013 from the back forwards. This is most effective with a tongue scraper, but you can use a toothbrush, or even an inverted teaspoon (just don\u2019t stir your tea with it after!).<\/li>\n\n
  2. Clean between your teeth (interdental).<\/strong> Use floss, interdental brushes or a water flosser to clean the surfaces your toothbrush bristles can’t reach.<\/li>\n\n
  3. Brush your teeth with an electric or manual toothbrush AFTER interdental cleaning.<\/strong> This allows the toothpaste ingredients access to the interdental spaces and sides of the teeth. <\/li><\/ol>
