National Brush Day

National Brush Day is a holiday that teaches us to take better care of our teeth. The most common disease – caries – is manifested as a result of excessive consumption of sweets. Not surprisingly, this holiday is celebrated on November 1, after Halloween, when children eat kilograms of candy and you need to remember about the health and hygiene of your teeth. Show your kids how to properly use a toothbrush.

History

If you think that brushing your teeth is boring or your kids refuse to brush their teeth, offer them unusual toothbrushes. For example, there are those who sing for two minutes – that’s how much you need to brush your teeth. Older children can be offered electric brushes that clean better and more efficiently. And the first tooth brush appeared in 3000 BC, these were sticks and leaves that were chewed to remove dirt and food debris. In 1840, the College of Dental Surgery began operating in Baltimore and operates today.

Interesting Facts
