I'm a beauty whizz & you're brushing your teeth wrong – an electric brush is not the answer & what you need instead | The Sun

IF you want your breath to smell fresh regardless of what you’ve eaten – you’ve come to the right place.

It turns out that we’ve been brushing our teeth wrong and if you are someone that simply brushes their teeth and that’s it, you’ll want to take some notes.



Beauty whizz Nia Kajumlo, has 236.4k followers and 4.4million likes on TikTok and has recently set the record straight on the ultimate oral hygiene routine. 

The 23-year-old from Seattle regularly shares her beauty tips and tricks to the video sharing platform and recently revealed that we have been brushing our teeth all wrong.

According to Nia, it turns out that there’s a lot more that needs to be done when it comes to our dental hygiene if we want our breath to smell fresh than simply just brushing. 

Nia recently uploaded her clip with the caption ‘Alright girlllls here she is!!! Y’all have been asking about fresh breath and my routine and this is how I get it!

‘I’ve already spoken about it but since there are more of you and I always get this question I'm going to make one big video about how to keep your breath smelling good!’.

Nia explained her in-depth oral hygiene routine that ensures her breath stays smelling fresh all day long, regardless of what she eats or drinks.

She said: “Some of your guys' breath stinks – it just does, so I’m going to run through my whole oral hygiene routine today. 

“First – there are tonnes of things that contribute to bad breath – you could have dry mouth, it could be something that you’re eating, it could be dehydration, so if you do this stuff but you still have bad breath, it’s time to identify what else you do that could be causing that.

“First things first – I use a manual toothbrush. They’re not for everyone but I have used super high-end electric toothbrushes but for some reason I prefer to use one of these.

“It does mean that I end up brushing my teeth for longer and a bit more excessively.

“Also with an electric toothbrush, you still have to put in the work – you can’t just rely on it to do all the work for you.

“I like this one because it’s got a big brush head, so it’s not just getting the teeth, it’s getting the gums too.

“This is my baby – I love this toothpaste with my whole soul – this is the hello anti-plaque whitening toothpaste.

“This one is in natural peppermint and it has tea tree and coconut oil.

“This makes my teeth feel so incredibly fresh, it’s insane.

“I also use a water flosser – this makes your teeth feel unreasonably clean, it’s so clean.

“This is also going to help you prevent gum disease because it’s going to clear out any bacteria sitting underneath your gums.

“Then you must always use a tongue scraper – this is what’s going to get rid of that bad breath smell and the lingering bacteria that is going to sit on your tongue. 

“After the tongue scraper, you need this mouthwash – the TheraBreath mouthwash.

“TheraBreath is one of my favourite mouthwashes of all time – it’s my ride or die.

“This mouthwash keeps your breath fresh all day long – if you eat something afterwards, the smell is significantly less than what it would be if you did not use this mouthwash.

“Morning breath who? Onion breath who? So I love to use this at the end of my routine.

“Next thing – floss sticks. These are the Plackers twin-line floss sticks – these have a double line, I like this one because I feel like it gets in between better.

“You can use any floss you want, as long as you’re flossing – I’m a floss advocate.

“Next tip, always keep minis with you – always keep a toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash and floss sticks with you because you never know when you will eat something and you need to brush”.

Nia’s extensive hygiene routine has clearly impressed many, as her video has quickly racked up a whopping 1.5million views. 

It has 185.6k likes, 561 comments and 701 shares.

TikTok users loved her tips and tricks and reflected this in the comments. 

One person said: “Tongue scrapers are a game changer‼️‼️”
