Wait! there is a right and a wrong way to brush?

We cannot tell you how many times - probably 4 out of 5- we have had to teach people the right way to brush. It is surprising and honestly very sad that out education system does not incorporate a syllabus in basic oral hygiene. If you haven’t been taught the right technique when you were in school- chances are you are continuing the same when you are an adult. Indeed these is a correct technique of brushing your teeth.

Incorrectly brushing your teeth- whether it is the actual process, the force you use or even the type of toothbrush and toothpaste you use- makes a world of a difference. Brushing your teeth the wrong way can cause a variety of problems- gum recession, cavities between your gum line and tooth, gum abrasion, tooth sensitivity etc.

At Summit Dental Clinic, after performing a thorough clinical examination and full mouth cleaning (oral prophylaxis, teeth scaling) - our doctors will explain the correct toothbrushing technique as well as recommend which is the best toothpaste and toothbrush for you. Everyone is different and hence every mouth is different- come into our clinic to learn the right way to take care of yourself to avoid bigger and more expensive problems in the future!
