The Right Way to Brush... The Smile with Style Team
What
Is the Right Way to Brush?
Proper brushing takes at least two minutes - that's right, 120 seconds!
Most adults do not come close to brushing that long. To get a feel
for the time involved, try using a stopwatch. To properly brush
your teeth, use short, gentle strokes, paying extra attention to
the gumline, hard-to-reach back teeth, and areas around fillings,
crowns or other restoration. Concentrate on thoroughly cleaning
each section as follows:
Clean
the outer surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower teeth
Clean the inner surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower
teeth
Clean
the chewing surfaces
For
fresher breath, be sure to brush your tongue, too
Gently
brush the outside, inside and chewing surface of each tooth using
short back-and-forth strokes.
Gently brush your tongue to remove bacteria and freshen breath.
What
Type of Toothbrush Should I Use?
Most dental professionals agree that a soft-bristled brush is best
for removing plaque and debris from your teeth. Small-headed brushes
are also preferable, since they can better reach all areas of the
mouth, including hard-to-reach back teeth. For many, a powered toothbrush
is a good alternative. It can do a better job of cleaning teeth, particularly
for those who have difficulty brushing or who have limited manual
dexterity.
How
Important Is the Toothpaste I Use?
It is important that you use a toothpaste that's right for you.
Today there is a wide variety of toothpaste designed for many conditions,
including cavities, gingivitis, tartar, stained teeth and sensitivity.
Ask your dentist or hygienist which toothpaste is right for you.
How
Often Should I Replace My Toothbrush?
You should replace your toothbrush when it begins to show wear,
or every three months, whichever comes first. It is also very important
to change toothbrushes after you've had a cold, since the bristles
can collect germs that can lead to reinfection.
