Teeth Cleaning Is One Job With High Requirements


There are many reasons why you should brush your teeth: it gets rid of food particles, massages and keeps your gums clean, helps to get rid of plaque that causes decay, and makes your breath fresh. While brushing may not be the answer for all your dental problems, it is an essential shield that can help fight decay, periodontal disease, and gingivitis.

It is very important to always rinse thoroughly after brushing. Dentist recommended brands such as Listerine or Scope can be purchased at your local CVS, Walgreens, or Walmart. Rinsing after brushing is a crucial step that cannot be skipped. These mouthwashes are made to kill remaining bacteria throughout the mouth, and keep teeth and gums from developing gingivitis. Bacteria can grow on an un-rinsed tooth, so remember it is crucial to thoroughly rinse after brushing.

Although brushing is something done on daily basis by most people, it is always advisable to brush up a little bit on how it is done, because brushing with the proper technique is equally important as attention.

To correctly clean the mouth you must use easy forward and backward motions, focusing additional attention to the gum line across the teeth, difficult places where food could become entrapped for example fillings, and crowns. It can be useful to divide the mouth up into sections and clean each section thoroughly. Personally I split it into three sections: Outer surfaces, inner surfaces, and tongue.

Gently press at angle of 45 degrees. Scrub the gum and front of the teeth for a few seconds in a circular motion. In the same way, slowly move around the mouth till you reach the other side. Be careful especially with your gum line, as gingivitis affects this area.

First clean the outer surfaces of the upper teeth, and the lower teeth. Tilt the brush at the 45° angle resistant to the gum line and sweep or roll the brush away from the gum line. That will clean the outer surfaces of the teeth and definitely will clean the gum lines removing plaque and dental bacteria.

Next clean the inner surfaces from your upper teeth, and lower teeth. Gently brush the outer, inside and chewing surfaces of each tooth using short back-and-forth strokes. Skipping inner tooth surfaces may cause most dental problems concerning bacteria, and plaque. People often forget to clean these inner surfaces.

You can buy dental instruments from internet.
