Brushing your teeth using the proper technique is one of the best ways to remove plaque and bacteria build-up and protect your smile.
You can watch our informative video with our dental hygienist in Coffs Harbour to see a brushing demonstration or read on for instruction.
Using a manual toothbrush, hold your brush at a 45-degree angle and gently brush each tooth using a circular motion. Be careful not to brush excessively around delicate gum tissue that can become irritated or lost.
Consider using an electric toothbrush if you haven't switched already, as it does the hard work for you. With an electric toothbrush, you can hold it gently against each tooth at a 45-degree angle, and it brushes for you.
An electric toothbrush also times your brushing to ensure you reach the recommended two minutes.
