August is our Singapore Oral Health Month. Being a typical Singapore good boy, I complied with our Government calling and went for my Dental Checkup cum Cleaning today.
My last checkup was nearly 2 yrs ago and todays experience is as usual a painful one. I clenched my fist tightly throughout the 15 minutes ordeal. My checkup, cleaning and filling cost me $135.
Since its the Oral Health Month, I like to share with you the correct way to brush our teeth.
--------------------------------
Holding your Toothbrush Correctly
Using just a pea size amount of toothpaste, hold your toothbrush comfortably at about a 45 degree angle.
Back and Forth Motions
In gentle, short strokes (about as wide as your tooth), move your toothbrush back and forth, brushing the outside areas of your upper and lower back teeth.
Brush Outside Surfaces
Brush Chewing Surfaces
Brush the biting (chewing) surfaces and the inside (the side facing your tongue) of your upper and lower back teeth with the back and forth brushing motion.
Inner Surfaces
Brush the inside areas (the side facing your tongue) of your upper and lower front teeth with the tip of the brush using gentle up and down strokes.

Still remember those days?
