What Is The Correct Tooth Brushing Method?

The most effective way to protect our oral and dental health is to brush our teeth regularly and correctly. The duration of a good brushing is 3-4 minutes with brushing all surfaces. Using large amounts of toothpaste or mouthwash will not clean the teeth.

The most accurate tooth brushing technique; It is to thoroughly clean the anterior and posterior surfaces of the lower and upper teeth by applying circular movements at an angle of 45 degrees from the gingiva. Chewing and cutting tooth surfaces should be brushed with back and forth movements. While brushing the teeth, do not press too hard, do not apply such excessive force or very hard brushes cause abrasions and bleeding in the teeth. If your gums bleed while brushing, do not stop brushing, brush the bleeding areas more carefully and gently. Healthy gums do not bleed during brushing. If your teeth bleed while brushing for several days in a row, you can contact your dentist to prevent possible oral and dental diseases and to get information.
