How to Brush Your Teeth the Right Way

November 17, 2014 by Florence Dentistry

Best Way to Brush Your Teeth- Florence Dentistry

Brushing your teeth daily is important for your oral health. Here are some tips and tricks on how to brush your teeth the right way, in order to ensure the cleanest and shiniest smile!

  1. Choose the right toothbrush. If it feels like you are opening your mouth too wide then your toothbrush is probably too big. If it feels like you can’t reach all your teeth then your toothbrush is probably too small. Find one that suits you best.
  2. Electrical or manual toothbrush? It doesn’t matter. This is a personal preference. Electrical toothbrushes do make it easier for some people, but manual will do the job too if you brush well.
  3. In order for you to brush your teeth the right way, make sure you brush for at least two minutes! Most people go under this time. Try to divide your mouth into four sections, and spend 30 seconds on each section.
  4. Brush twice a day! (For two minutes each time)
  5. Don’t brush too hard. You don’t want to over do it. Plaque removes fairly easily; therefore a gentle brush will do the job.
  6. To brush your teeth the right way you must also use the right technique. Have your brush at a 45-degree angle to your gums, and then do up and down motions.
  7. Change your toothbrush every three to four months. It is important to do so as the bristles on toothbrushes start to break apart after time.

    Updated Review Monday January 15, 2018 ******************************************** Yesterday I had yet another visit to Dr. Lysik and this was another absolutely amazing experience! I had a root canal and of course I was wide awake during the procedure! I've gone through much of my life as avoiding dentists because of a very unpleasant experience as a very young child! I would water until a simple cavity became an extraction! Then, I would go to an oral surgeon and be put to sleep! Then, a couple of years ago I came to know Dr. Lysik and long story short, I became her patient! She is caring, sensitive and makes one feel most comfortable! I put my trust in her and without disappointment! In conclusion, I highly recommend her to anyone and especially to those whom have a dead of dentists! ????????read more

    Prior to going to Florence Dentistry I hadn't seen a dentist in 10 years, and only ended up pulling the trigger on in once a tooth was causing me daily pain. I was very nervous about the whole experience, but they were all extremely warm, welcoming and professional. After the first teeth cleaning session the pain was gone, and after a few more visits Dr. Pershad my cavities were filled as well. It's a tremendous relief not worrying about the health of my teeth anymore. I couldn't recommend their services more highly.read more

    I came to this dentist office after my dentist passed away. It was a blessing to find. Dr. Lysik is a dentist from a true vocation and I trust her advice completely. The work of the staff is exceptional: very careful, educating the patient and full of sincere care. The lady in the front is wonderful. I very strongly recommend this dental office, it is a treasure.read more

    I am seeing Dr Edit Lukacs Dragoi for 2 years now, and I had my first repair (2 things) this week. I wanted to write a rewiew because I was very impressed. She is the most attentive dentist I have ever met. She is very gentle and I feel that she is a great human been. I like her a lot.read more

    been here today for the first time after *YEARS* without seeing a dentist (Shame on me!). I was here for a cleaning. I have to say I am a VERY anxious person and I really do not feel comfortable when I go to the dentist's; however, my experience here was AMAZING. My dentist's name was Celia (if I spelled it correctly) and she was very delicate, understanding, and she put me at ease from the beginning. I actually am looking forward to the second part of my cleaning next week. Also the lady at the front desk was super friendly. I really recommend this place!read more
