Brushing is considered the most important part of your dental care routine to achieve a healthy mouth and smile. Most dentists and ADA recommend the following:
Toothbrush should be placed at a 45-degree angle to the gingiva, then short back
and forth strokes should be used to clean tooth by tooth. It is important to brush
all surfaces of all teeth, which include outer, inner and chewing surfaces. It is
also very important to supplement regular tooth brushing with flossing.
It is important to clean between teeth daily with floss, as toothbrush bristles
can’t reach these spots. This helps remove plaque and food particles from between
the teeth and under the gum line.
Visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and oral exams.
