Your teeth are not the only important part of your mouth. Your gums are essential to your oral hygiene as well. It is important that you brush and floss your teeth on a daily basis to prevent tooth decay and invasive procedures in the future. As much as we love to see you and your smile at the dental practice of Suzanne Haeri, DDS, we want you to keep your permanent teeth for a lifetime. You can start by utilizing these brushing tips the next time you whip out that toothbrush of yours.
- Start with the outer and inner surfaces, and brush at a 45-degree angle. Don’t forget your back teeth!
- Move on to the chewing surfaces. Hold the brush flat and brush back and forth along these surfaces.
- Once you get to the inside surfaces of your front teeth, tilt the brush vertically and use gentle up-and-down strokes with the tip of the brush.
- Be sure to brush your teeth gently along the gum line.
- Don’t forget to brush your tongue!
