Although many people brush their teeth regularly every day, many of us complain about these problems; bad breath, tartar, gum problems and teeth that don't look clean. But I brush my teeth twice a day, use this brand of toothpaste, etc.
But we never ask this question; What if I don't brush my teeth with the right technique? Don't wonder if there is a technique for brushing your teeth, yes, there is a technique for this too :) If you brush your teeth as we write below, you can get rid of many problems you complain about and complete the basic part of protecting your dental health. Now you can review the steps of the correct tooth brushing technique together:

First, let's see if you have the right toothbrush. So what should be the ideal toothbrush? You can choose a brush with bristles that are not too hard or too soft. Or you can consult your dentist about this :) They will recommend the most suitable toothbrush for you.

With the right toothbrush, you should brush the front and back surfaces of your teeth with a sweeping motion from the gum to the tooth, that is, from top to bottom in the upper jaw, and from bottom to up in the lower jaw. You can even do this by dividing it into quadrants: lower-upper and right-left jaw. After brushing the front and back surfaces of your teeth in this way, you should clean the chewing surfaces with left and right movements.

It is very important to brush with light pressure when brushing your teeth. Because brushing with excessive pressure will damage your teeth and gums. We recommend that you be gentle with your teeth.

You should definitely brush your teeth for 2 minutes. While doing this, you can use the stopwatch on your phone.

Don't forget to brush your tongue last. Because most of the bacteria that cause bad breath accumulate between the protrusions of the tongue surface. These bacteria can only be removed by mechanically cleaning the tongue surface.

Cleaning your teeth and tongue twice a day is essential for your oral hygiene.

Don't forget to change your toothbrush at regular intervals. It would be healthier to change your toothbrush every 3 months. Using dental floss is also an important step for teeth and gums, we will touch on this important issue under another heading.

Stay happy and healthy :)
