Are You Brushing the Right Way? Molldrem Family Dentistry Eden Prairie Debunks Common Myths

Brushing your teeth seems simple, but many people make mistakes that can harm their oral health. At Molldrem Family Dentistry Eden Prairie, we’ve seen it all—from brushing too hard and causing gum recession to neglecting the tongue, which harbors bacteria. One of the biggest myths is that a harder toothbrush cleans better. In reality, soft-bristled brushes are the best for protecting your enamel and gums. Another misconception? You should rinse immediately after brushing. Dentists now recommend waiting 30 minutes to let fluoride strengthen your teeth. Flossing is also essential, yet studies show that many people skip it or do it incorrectly. If you want to improve your routine, our dental experts can show you the proper techniques to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
