You’re Brushing, But Are You Brushing Correctly?

Teeth help us to chew and digest food. They also assist us when it comes to talking, and to pronounce different sounds clearly. Finally, teeth help to give our face its shape. Therefore you should want to keep your permanent ones forever. Although most people brush regularly, many don’t realize that there is actually a proper technique to the task. You should schedule a professional cleaning at Bridge Smile Dental Group P.A. at least once every six months and in addition, you should be brushing your teeth at least twice a day for two minutes. The next time you step in front of a mirror, utilize these tips.



  • Place the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to the gums.

  • Move the brush back-and-forth gently in short strokes.

  • Brush the outer surfaces, the inside surfaces and the chewing surfaces of all teeth.

  • To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the brush vertically and make several up-and-down strokes.

  • Brush your tongue to remove bacteria and keep your breath fresh.
