Yes but how? The recommendations in this area change over the years and the controversy rages over whether two minutes is sufficient or if you really have to brush for three full minutes. Even among scientists, the frequency of brushing is also discussed - 2 or 3 times a day? Last year, the French Union for Oral Health (UFSBD) finally ruled that 2 times is enough since bacteria takes\u00a0at least 12 hours to relocate in our teeth. And let's not even start\u00a0about the battle between conventional and electric toothbrushes...<\/p> <p style=\"color: #333333\">According to researchers at the<strong> University College of London<\/strong>, it's time to stop throwing mixed signals. Because, according to them, the recommendations provided by associations and manufacturers of toothpaste are too vague. Here are their recommendations, clear and simple (well almost).<\/p> <h5 style=\"color: #333333\"> <span> <strong>Brushing your teeth with horizontal or vertical movements?<\/strong><\/span> <\/h5> <p style=\"color: #333333\">In fact, neither one nor the other. The ultimate method would be to tilt the bristles\u00a0at 45 degrees and go slowly so you do not skip any tooth. And be careful not to press too hard, as you could\u00a0alter the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/health\/medical-news\/a-tooth-to-count-the-calories-2336.html\"> tooth enamel<\/a>: Better keep your\u00a0toothbrush like a pen, hold it with the flexible wrist and release\u00a0it.<\/p> <h5 style=\"color: #333333\"> <span><\/span> <\/h5> <h5 style=\"color: #333333\"> <span><\/span> <\/h5> <h5 style=\"color: #333333\"> <span><strong>Focus on simplicity<\/strong><\/span> <\/h5> <p style=\"color: #333333\">For the rest of the process, no need to complicate life. \"No complex method has shown a real superiority over a circular and gentle brushing method\" admit\u00a0the authors of the study, who\u00a0also state that no\u00a0tooth should be left out, particularly at the junction with the gum. Although they agree that two brushings a day are enough, they do not specify a minimum duration for each. Once we've gone around the entire mouth, then we stop.
