The day is celebrated to reinforce the importance of children&#8217;s oral health and promote good tooth-brushing habits recommended by dental experts. Also, parents are encouraged to make sure their kids brush their teeth for two minutes and twice a day.<\/p>\n<h2>History Of National Brush Day<\/h2>\n<p>National Brush Day was first observed in 2013 and has continued to grow and gather support from dental professionals, parents, and schools. The date of November 1 was chosen because it is the day after Halloween and we all know just how many sweet treats kids consume on that holiday! And with frequent consumption of sugary foods being the number one cause of tooth decay and one of the most common chronic childhood diseases in the U.S. it is only right that we encourage exceptional oral hygiene and support National Brush Day!<\/p>\n<p>Spend some extra time explaining the importance of brushing your teeth to children. Replace your toothbrush. Use #NationalBrushDay when posting on social media.<\/p>\n<h2>Toothbrush Care is Important<\/h2>\n<p>Toothbrushing with fluoride toothpaste is important for good oral hygiene, plaque removal, keeping the mouth clean and healthy, and improving a child\u2019s breath and sense of taste. Appropriate cleaning, storage, and replacement of toothbrushes are also important to prevent the spread of disease.<\/p>\n<h2>Recommended toothbrush care<\/h2>\n<p>\u2022 Do not share toothbrushes.<br \/>\n\u2022 Wash your hands before and after brushing. After brushing, rinse the toothbrush thoroughly with tap water and allow it to air-dry.<br \/>\n\u2022 Do not routinely cover toothbrushes or store them in closed containers\u2014a humid environment is more favorable to bacterial growth than the open air.<br \/>\n\u2022 Store the toothbrush in an upright position, so water drains away from bristles.<br \/>\n\u2022 Replace toothbrushes every 3\u20134 months or sooner if the bristles appear worn or damaged.<br \/>\n\u2022 It is not necessary to soak toothbrushes in disinfecting solutions or mouthwash. This may lead to cross-contamination\u00a0of brushes if the same solution is used<br \/>\novertime or by multiple users<\/p>\n<h2>National Brush Day Messages<\/h2>\n<p>\u2013 The healthier your teeth, the more you will smile.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Remember to change your brush once every three months; otherwise, you have to replace your teeth for a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 The world needs to focus more on teeth hygiene than world wars.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Teeth hygiene is everyone\u2019s right. No one should be barred from it.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Not every brush is for everyone; not everyone is for every meeting.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Dentists should be renamed as smile saviors.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Imagine a world without dentists, then no one would have smiled again.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Brushing is like telling the teeth that you care.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Your teeth are your responsibility to keep safe.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 If you think you are the bravest person, try getting a root canal.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>References: <a href=\"https:\/\/cchp.ucsf.edu\/sites\/g\/files\/tkssra181\/f\/ToothbrushCareEN050106.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cchp.ucsf.edu<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/National_Brush_Day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Brush Day is observed in the United States on November 1.
