When brushing your teeth you want to brush correctly so that you are getting the full benefits from brushing which will improve your dental and oral health.

Proper brushing takes at least two minutes — that’s right, 120 seconds! Most adults do not come close to brushing that long.  To properly brush your teeth, use short, gentle strokes, paying extra attention to the gumline, hard-to-reach back teeth and areas around fillings, crowns or other restoration. Concentrate on thoroughly cleaning each section as follows:

Clean the outer surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower teeth
Clean the inner surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower teeth
Clean the chewing surfaces
For fresher breath, be sure to brush your tongue, too

I have two teens that need to have their check up and teeth cleanings. Last year I lost our dental benefits and I have not gotten another dental insurance plan since. So I am now looking for a dental insurance plan that can take care of our basic dental needs. I would like something without waiting periods or at least short waiting periods. Do you have any dental insurance that can help me.

Living in California is very costly. I have a good job but with a family of five their dental care gets to be too much. I am trying to find a dental insurance plan that is under $80 a month that will help me better afford my family dental care needs. I do not want a dental discount plan since I had one once and the dentist either did not take the plan or never would charge us the listed price.
