Diabetes and Your Mouth # 5: Brush Daily, Brush Right
Brushing your teeth twice a day not only keeps your breath sweet but also helps rid the mouth of bacteria that makes up plaque and can lead to oral infections. To brush properly, point bristles at a 45-degree angle against the gums. Use gentle back-and-forth strokes all over your teeth — in front, in back, and on chewing surfaces — for two minutes. If holding a toothbrush is hard for you, try an electric toothbrush. Also, brush your gums and tongue.
