Brushing FAQs

|||
Brushing regularly, for two minutes, twice a day, is an important part of oral health care. When selecting a toothbrush to buy, look for one with a small-headed brush and a handle that’s comfortable to grip. Dentists recommend you should replace your brush every three months. Here are some tips for effective brushing:
Be gentle - Rough brushing and shaggy toothbrushes can damage tooth enamel.
Be methodical – A routine will help ensure you clean every corner of your mouth every time you brush. For example, start with the outer surfaces of your lower teeth, work from the back teeth to the front and then head to the inner surfaces. Then brush all the biting surfaces.
Pay special attention to the area where the teeth meet gums – Be especially careful to brush away plaque from the area around the gums and in the gaps between teeth. Combined with regular flossing, this will help you control plaque build-up.
Brush at an angle to the gums – Brush in a circular or elliptical fashion. Using a back and forth motion can risk making the root surface tender and wearing down the gum line.
