How do I brush and what is the most effective method of brushing? Brushing is ineffective unless done properly. Here are some tips: To clean the exterior of your teeth and gums, make short moves forward-back and then down-up. To clean your teeth on the inside, make vertical movements. Always take your time in brushing and do not rush or you may end up hurting your gum.

Floss regularly. Most of us used to ignore this part of cleaning our teeth, because we all recognize that it is is a tedious activity and can even be painful sometimes. Recent studies show that it produces the same result if you rinse your teeth with antiseptic mouthwash after each brushing. Antiseptic mouthwash is effective because it contains essential oils that kill germs. Mouthwash is especially effective when combined with regular brushing and flossing.

More attention to proper brushing than the type of toothpaste you use. Some manufacturers claim that their tooth paste removes microbial plaque. The truth is that any microbial toothpaste removes plaque if you clean your teeth properly. Conclusion? When used properly, even with fluoride toothpaste the same results maybe achieved and it is also relatively inexpensive as an alternative.

Prevention – The best way to prevent gum inflammation is a rigorous oral hygiene. This means brushing your teeth at least twice daily, morning and evening, before you go to bed, was rinse with mouthwash after every brush and clean your teeth with floss at least once per day. Better, if you can wash your teeth after each meal or snack. Normally, for brushing to be effective, must last for three minutes to five minutes.
