Brushing your teeth is definitely essential when taking
care of your mouth.
1.
Before you brush
you should floss to get to places your toothbrush bristles cannot reach.
Flossing should be always a part of your oral care routine.
2.
While brushing,
position the brush on 45° angle toward your gum line. Circular strokes will do
the trick, particularly in removing plaque. Your dental history as well as your
own dental needs will be considered to determine the right brushing technique.
Mostly Modified Bass Technique* is
recommended.
3.
Use Fluoride
toothpaste.
4.
Brushing should be
long enough for 2 minutes. Brush at least twice a day.
5.
If brushing hard
is your habit it's time to change it, you should always brush gently. Hold your
brush with just two fingers to help you get an idea of how gentle you should
brush.
6.
Whitening tooth
pastes are for everyone. These particles do whiten your teeth but they scratch
your teeth's surface to remove the stains.
7.
Improper brushing
can lead to abrasion and recession at your gingival level.
8.
Avoid brushing
right after a meal. Instead, wait at least 30 minutes since the ph. in your
mouth is still low and acidic. However, if your brush isn’t nearby, you can
simply eat crunchy fruits and vegetables to clean your teeth the natural way.
