One of the smart ways to keep your oral cavity bacteria-free is by brushing teeth at the right time with effective technique. Brushing your teeth removes food debris, plaque and prevents calculus formation. Proper tooth brushing is an essential part of keeping teeth and gums clean and healthy. Most of us are unaware of proper brushing techniques. This article will highlight the proper and effective way of brushing teeth.
What is the proper brushing technique?
In this article, we’ll learn the right way to brush teeth effectively by following simple steps.
Step 1: Hold the brush at a 45-degree angle and clean the outer surface of teeth using short strokes. Make sure you do not miss out on back teeth and press too hard onto teeth, which may also cause damage to your teeth.
Step 2: Next move on to chewing surfaces of teeth. Hold the brush flat and start brushing back and forth gently.
Step 3: Once chewing surfaces are cleaned, clean the inside surfaces of your teeth, hold the brush vertically and use up-and-down strokes to clean the inner surfaces.
Step 4: Brush your tongue. Cleaning the tongue removes odor-causing bacteria and bad breath.
Once you learn the proper brushing technique, practicing it daily will help to master it to perfection. Proper brushing is the only way to prevent dental problems, the most common being dental caries and gum infection. Following 2 times for 2 minutes, a daily rule can make you have a fresher breath and healthy oral cavity.
Which toothbrush is the best?
As far as you follow proper brushing technique, both manual and electric toothbrushes are effective in maintaining optimum oral health.
