Keeping the Teeth Healthy If you want to have healthy teeth you should follow some dentists’ ad‑ vice: • Brush your teeth twice a day. Do it systematically in the morning and in the evening, before going to bed. • Not more than 2 teeth at a time should be brushed and this should be done both vertically and horizontally (away from the gums). • Use neither too hard nor too soft toothbrush. It must be a small one (3.5–4 cm). The bristles must be of unequal length. • Your toothbrush must be kept clean, either by permanent immersion in a weak antiseptic solution or by being washed daily with soap and water. • Chew a special gum («Dirol», «Orbit», «Stimorol») which regulates acid-alkaline balance after meals.
