HOW TO BRUSH?

FOR ADULTS

Daily morning we brush our teeth in unconsciousness only. Because it is the first job we will do once we wake up.But little conscious is necessary during brushing.We dentist called the proper technique of brushing as modified bass technique.In this technique we should place the brush bristles at 45 degree so that your bristles is under the gum line.Move your brush in horizontal strokes or in tiny circular motion.Repeat it for 20 strokes.Do this in a very gentle way.Because in healthy gingiva you may not feel any pain,but in weak gingiva if you do it vigrously you will end up in bleeding.Then move out your brush toward the biting edge.This will help to remove plaque under the gums.To clean the front teeth keep your tooth brush in vertical motion and do back and froth process.This will help to do cleaning in a better way.To remove more plaque ,use your tooth brush to clean your tongue also.Brush in tongue for 2-4 times in back and froth motion.Donot push the tooth brush much inside then you will end up in gag.

Now rinse the mouth with clean water.rinse well,so that the plaque comes out.
