Procedure Overview & Indications

What You Need to Know About Hygienist-Recommended Brushing & Flossing

Most cavities and gum problems are decided long before you sit in a chair , they're decided in the bathroom, twice a day. Done correctly, brushing and flossing are the single most powerful thing you can do for your teeth.

Hold the brush at a 45° angle to the gumline. Use short, gentle strokes , back and forth on chewing surfaces, and small circles on the inner and outer surfaces. Don't scrub , pressure damages enamel and gums.
