歯磨き習慣の改善ポイントについて（＆電動歯ブラシの紹介）。
歯はほんと大事。完全在宅になってから昼休みもしっかり磨けるようになってハッピー。
upkeep
意味 （建物· 土地· 車などの） 管理, 保全, 維持.
Taking care of your teeth is never a one-and-done sort of thing. It’s something you do upkeep on, and most people know the broad strokes of what you’re supposed to do. Brush regularly, floss hopefully, and go to the dentist before an emergency happens.

そうそう。1日でもサボると気持ち悪くなるくらい続ければこっちのもん。痛みが出ても軽い治療ですむしね。
spotless
意味 〈物が〉染み 1 つない, 完璧にきれいな.
How you brush your teeth might be even more important than how often you do it. If you’re not brushing your teeth correctly, it doesn’t matter how many times you do it. One of the most common mistakes people make while brushing is only brushing back and forth. If you’re only brushing at one angle, you’re only cleaning one section of your teeth. The tops might be spotless, but the front and tongue-side could still use some love.

磨きづらい角度ってどうしてもあるからなー。
rule of thumb
意味 経験 [実際] 的な目安, 概算.
Sometimes the simplest solution is the correct one. For example, if you’re brushing at different angles, flossing and rinsing, and brushing twice a day, but your teeth still don’t look clean, you might need to brush a little longer regularly. As mentioned earlier, the rule of thumb is usually two-for-two or brushing twice a day for two minutes. You’ll want to break that two minutes into regions of your mouth and make sure to use fluoride toothpaste.

2分って少ない気がする。ベランダ出て空見ながらのろのろ磨いてるから5分は確実に磨いてるわ。まあ磨きすぎも歯にはよくないらしいけど。
mess up A
意味 A〈物· 事〉をし損なう; A に失敗する.
The AquaSonic Black Series Toothbrush is an easy answer to many of the most common ways people mess up brushing their teeth. For instance, if you don’t know if you’re brushing long enough, it has a 30-second timer that tells you when to move on to a new section of your mouth. After two minutes, the toothbrush automatically turns off, indicating that you’re done.

電動歯ブラシ、有名どころを試したことあるけど、小さなヘッドでたらたら磨くのが好きだから私には合わなかった。とにかくヘッドがでかすぎて（海外メーカーだからかも）奥歯に全然届かなかったw
nook
意味 （部屋などの） 隅, 奥のかど (corner)
Rated 4.7 out of 5 on Amazon with over 47 thousand reviews, the Aquasonic has a few different modes that let you control the type of cleaning you’re getting. Switch between whitening, massage, and cleaning modes and get all those hard-to-reach nooks and crannies. The 40,000 VPM motor also does a great job dissolving stains.
