Improving thanks to dentists

This brings me to my first point, probably the most important one. To improve your brushing technique, you need the help of a professional dentist. There is not a better person capable of teaching you the correct way of using a toothbrush. That is why I suggest to always ask your dentist for advice every consultation you go. You will be surprised how much you can learn by simple asking for help to a dentist. This is an advice I specially suggest to children and teenager.

Learning these things young are the best way to create good habits sooner. If you wish free consultation and evaluation the best place is here, at Dental del Rio in Los Algodones, Mexico.

I must say this is a good time to talk about this topic because of the holidays. Many patients put their dental health in the back during vacations. I know that it can be enticing to do so, but remember your dental health is important to avoid nasty dental diseases that can ruin your teeth permanently.

The ultimate brushing technique

Now with today’s subject, how to improve your brushing technique. The first thing to notice is that you need the perfect toothbrush. Pick a soft bristle toothbrush as they are the best for daily use. Hard and medium bristles are not good for regular people as they tend to be rough on your gums and teeth enamel. You do not want to strip down the enamel or cut your gums during your dental hygiene routine. The rest of your toothbrush can be up to your preference.

With the perfect toothbrush at hand, let’s discuss technique. The basics are to use slow and gentle strokes, you do not need to brush fast and aggressive. It will have the same bad effects as brushing with hard and medium toothbrush’s bristles. Take your time and start brushing from the gums away to the tip of each tooth in a vertical fashion. Then you can advance to the top of your teeth and behind. You can use horizontal and circular motions to cover every area.

Do not forget to brush your gums, tongue and cheeks, they are important too. The main strategy is to clean every surface from food debris, germs and bacteria. Even so, you must know that brushing 3 times a day is not enough to create a good dental hygiene routine. You need cleaning at the dentist at least 2 times a year. Apart form this your dental hygiene routine daily does not stop just at brushing.

Brushing is not good by itself

To have good dental health, you need to do more than just brushing your teeth. Using dental floss also forms a huge part of dental hygiene as toothbrush cannot reach between teeth perfectly. Flossing right after brushing will get rid of those pesky food debris stuck in that particular place. Then you can use antiseptic mouthwash to rinse away all the germs and bacteria remaining. This is a ritual you must perform every day to get perfect teeth.

This will make your smile beautiful, white and sparkly like movie stars. But you can make it better, you can still improve your dental hygiene. Using a tongue cleaner is one example to take your dental hygiene to the next level. By the way, you can use all the brushing technique tips with am electric toothbrush. It is also valid and it can be better for those people that wants to save time and effort brushing their teeth.
