During another interesting episode of Time with the Dentist, Pepsodent Ghana’s Dental TV show, Dr Gwendolyn Amarquaye-Bayitse emphasized on the fact that brushing twice daily is extremely important. In her submission, she recounted how growing up, one of the most important things parents do is to drill us in remembering to bush twice daily. This becomes a habit since the habit is formed from childhood and the likelihood that the importance of keeping this habit of brushing twice daily maybe underemphasized. It is often said that teeth never go out of style and that is why we need to care for them by brushing in the morning and at bedtime. Have you been skipping night brushing? While it may seem tempting to skip brushing your teeth at night especially after a hard day’s work, its importance goes beyond having a fresh breath. It helps prevent cavity, tooth decay, and gum disease.

  Dr Gwendolyn Amarquaye-Bayitse, resident dentist of Pepsodent Ghana’s Dental TV Show, Time with the Dentist, has revealed that brushing one’s teeth should take not less than two minutes and should not be rushed. This revelation was made in a bid to educate Ghanaians on good oral health. According to her, spending less than two minutes brushing is not enough time to remove as much plaque from the teeth. Along with advising viewers to brush their teeth for the recommended amount of time, she gave a live demonstration on good brushing techniques. She first stated that there are five surfaces of the teeth that we need to clean, namely the front or facial surface, chewing or the occlusal surface, inner or lingual surface and the interproximal surfaces. She added that to succeed at effective brushing, one must brush with the jaws apart instead of together. This helps to easily segment the teeth into four parts - the upper and lower left and the upper and lower right, allo...
