Tips for Brushing Gilbert, AZ

Brushing is an important part to good oral hygiene. Here are a couple simple techniques to keep in mind when you are brushing your teeth.

1. Hold your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle toward the gum line.
2. When brushing your teeth, move the brush back and forth gently over the front, back and top (or chewing surface) of your teeth.
3. Do not scrub hard along the gum line because you are at risk of irritating your gums.
4. Remember to brush and floss behind your lower, front teeth. Use the top of the bristles of the brush to reach this area. If this area is hard to reach with floss, try using a floss holder or disposable floss.
