Without being too patronising, but can you really say that you are brushing your teeth correctly? Odd question to ask maybe, but there are people in central Leeds that do tend to get lazy about this most simple, yet important task. 1: starting with hand held brushes, it is important to get one that suits you, whether it is angled or straight; but it is more important however that you get the right strength of bristle for your teeth and gums. 2: when you brush, the bristles should be brought down from the gums and onto the teeth to start with and old-school techniques state you should brush up and down. 3: it’s always good to brush in front of the mirror so you can see how your technique fairs and that you are brushing all the areas. Of course, all of this may sound terribly old-fashioned because today the electric brush has come of age. There are all types of brushes you can buy, that will do all of the things mentioned, but it is still good to use a mirror at first. It doesn’t sound hard at all, but you must ensure that you get to all areas of your teeth and gums, and give yourself a fighting chance against plaque, tooth decay and gum disease.
