Brush your teeth

To brush your teeth well, in addition to the toothbrush you need dental floss and a correct brushing technique.

The teeth must never be brushed in a horizontal movement, but in a direction perpendicular to the gum, and always with movements from the gum to the tooth.


Therefore, starting from the upper dental arch, the toothbrush must be positioned, at an angle of 45 ° on the gingival edge, so that the bristles go slightly and partially in the gingival sulcus, if the positioning is correct, it can be seen from the color of the gingiva that at the point in which the toothbrush rests, it becomes lighter.

Once the toothbrush has been placed, without applying too much pressure, the toothbrush moves from the gum towards the tooth with small semi-rotating movements.

This operation is good to do without using too much force, but pressing the brush gently, on two or three teeth at a time, several times.


As for the lower arch of the teeth, the system is the same, only the sense of brushing changes, which instead of being from top to bottom, is from bottom to top.

Of course, with the same method, the teeth must also be cleaned internally, proceeding from the back to the front on both arches.

By brushing the teeth inside, in the anterior sector of the lower arch, the toothbrush is used by first positioning the part closest to the handle.

To finish, pass the dental floss by passing it tightly between one tooth and another.
