5 Times You Shouldn’t Brush 25 words: Smile Tip: Brushing in the shower exposes your mouth to millions of microbes. Brush at the sink for a healthy smile. Smile Tip: Brushing right after you eat digs harmful acid deeper into your teeth. Swig some water and wait 30 minutes to brush to keep your smile healthy. Smile Tip: Brushing after you get sick is harmful for your teeth. Swish with water or rinse with mouthwash and wait 30 minutes to brush. Smile Tip: Sharing toothbrushes makes you more susceptible to illness. Make sure everyone in your house has their own. 200 words: Life can be hectic. And sometimes our life hacks aren’t the best—especially when it comes to brushing our teeth. Here are 5 times when brushing isn’t such a good idea: 1. In the shower There are millions of microbes in your showerhead. Brushing in the shower exposes your mouth to all of those bathtub bacteria. 2. After you eat Brushing right after you eat actually digs harmful acid deeper into your grin. Instead, take a swig of water and wait 30 minutes to brush. 3. After you toss your cookies Brushing immediately afterwards is just as harmful as brushing right after you eat. Swish with water or rinse with mouthwash while you wait to brush. 4. On the toilet Brush at least 6 feet away from the toilet— bacteria can get airborne and into your mouth (gross!). 5. With your partner We know you smooch, but sharing a toothbrush is different. It makes you more susceptible to illness and infection. Now that you know when not to brush, pay attention to when and how you’re performing the dental deed. Here’s to your smart smile!
