Can the 30 second smile really get your teeth clean in only 30 seconds? Dentists recommend that you brush your teeth for 2 minutes to get your teeth properly cleaned. So, how does the 30 second smile work to reduce brushing time to 30 seconds?
The 30 second smile is a battery operated toothbrush and has a different design to most ordinary toothbrushes. It is available to order via the internet and by telephone. You may have heard of it because of it being featured on TV.
Before discussing how the 30 second smile works it is important to understand current recommendations for teeth brushing by dentists and some of the leading causes of poor oral health.
Currently it is recommended for you to brush your teeth twice a day - once in the morning and once at night just prior to going to bed. The brushing of your teeth should take a minimum of 2 minutes to properly clean both your teeth and your gums.
There are different brushing methods advised by the dental profession to get the best results. One of the most well regarded ways is the Bass Method as developed by Dr Bass. In this method you hold the toothbrush at 45 degrees to your teeth and gently brush your teeth back and forth. In this way you clean both your teeth and gums properly to promote good healthy teeth and gums.
The type of food you eat can have a major detrimental effect on the health of your teeth and gums. The other significant factors in poor dental health are poor technique and not enough time spent in brushing according to dentists.
Many people do realize a nice healthy looking smile and pleasant smelling breath can help your confidence and help you get on in life. Despite this it appears it is difficult to find both the time to actually brush teeth and to master the techniques.
It is in these areas that 30 second smile may be able to help. The design of the toothbrush makes it easier for the user to use the Bass Method for teeth cleaning and reduce the time taken to only 30 seconds. As it is battery powered, the heads move back and forward at the required pace. All that is left for the user to do is to gently guide the brush around their teeth and to swap over to the other side of their mouth after 15 seconds so they clean both sides of the mouth.
The 30 second smile features dual heads for brushing upper and bottom teeth at the same time. Each of the heads contains 3 micro-heads that are angled at 45 degrees so the teeth are brushed in the way recommended by Dr Bass. Also, you are effectively brushing six surfaces of your teeth at the same time. The manufacturer recommends brushing each side of the mouth for 15 seconds giving a total of 30 seconds. This is the equivalent of 3 minutes with other toothbrushes.
It is due to these reasons of the 6 micro heads and the battery operation that operator error is reduced and teeth are brushed for longer than the minimum recommended time period. A number of dentists have noted that their patients that have switched to the 30 second smile toothbrush have brighter and cleaner smile as a result.
It appears that use of the 30 second smile can help you have healthier and whiter teeth due to its' unique design promoting both proper brushing and also reducing the amount of time needed.
