Bow to Brush

Correct brushing = Cavity prevention

 

Correct brushing is the most effective way to clean teeth and prevent cavities.

 

  • Imagine that the mouth is divided into four equal sections. Each section has an inside and an outside surface; a total of eight surfaces. Brush one of these eight surfaces at a time until all surfaces are covered. The order doesn’t matter.
  • Back teeth are harder to reach. For the same reason they are neglected for the most part. When brushing each surface, start from the back and work forward. It will be easier to reach the outside surfaces if you if you your mouth is kept in the half open position.
  • You should brush circularly using a soft bristle brush; Do it for 10 seconds.
  • Now go to the next group of teeth and repeat the process. All surfaces of all four sections need the same treatment.
  • The chewing surfaces of the back teeth also need brushing along the inside and outside areas.
  • Brushing the top surface of the tongue and lightly around your gums can refresh your mouth and reduce bad breath.
  • Rinse your mouth thoroughly with water.
