What you didn't know about Teethbrushing

I hate going to the dentist. The idea of sharp tools scraping my enamel is horrifying. What is worse is that I have sensitive teeth so the pain is amplified.

There is only one dentistry clinic which I actually look forward to visiting each time I'm back home which is the Scandinavian Dental Clinic on Wasl road in Jumeirah, Dubai, UAE. This isn't a regular clinic it's a palace with a tennis court. How cool is to watch n listen to the Eagles playing Hotel California on a HD-Quality LED screen that is attached to the ceiling while the dentist is busy working on your teeth? Did I mention the awesome surround sound?

It's like the clinic was part of an episode of Pimp My Ride - Pimp My Clinic. All the latest tech!

Ok I'm drifting off - what you DIDN'T KNOW about brushing your teeth is the subject of this blog so let me share with you what I learnt on my last visit to the clinic:

1- Flouride-intensive tooth-paste is key. (Crest Pro-Expert is my favorite - no I'm not promoting it this is honesty!)

2- DON'T RINSE YOUR MOUTH AFTER BRUSHING - Well just a bit. Normally I brush my teeth, then gargle 50 times with water to flush out the toothpaste. Actually what you should do is, brush ur teeth, spit out the majority without using water and then gargle only once with water and keep the rest of the paste in ur mouth so that the Flouride protects ur teeth throughout ur day! (warning: brush teeth After breakfast otherwise ur eggs will taste like Crest)

3- USE A LOT OF TOOTHPASTE!! I always thought that u only needed a pea-sized amount but the dentist was clear that u should put a lot so that u have more fluoride left over for the day's protection !

Et voila ladies n gents the secrets of thy teeth! Eureka!
