Toothbrushing technique
- Always use a SOFT toothbrush
- Use a fluoride toothpaste
- Brush twice a day
- Don?t apply pressure ? let your brush do the work!
Use floss to clean where your toothbrush can?t reach
- Take about 50cms of floss and wind the ends around
the middle or index fingers
- Grip the floss firmly with the index finger & thumb
- Guide the floss between the teeth using a gentle
sawing motion. Be careful not to snap the floss
onto the gums
- Gently scrape each tooth using an up and down
motion but be careful not to snap the floss
onto the gums
Disclosing tablets
- Disclosing tabs can help you see plaque and improve
your brushing and flossing
