How to prevent periodontal disease?
There are several ways to clean teeth. The preferred way is to have the toothbrush head set parallel to the dental arch, so that a portion of the fiber is on the gums and the other portion on the teeth. Position toothbrush at a 45 degree angle and then move the brush gently 2 - 3 times left to the right with simultaneous rotation. First brush the exterior and then the interior surface, and finally the biting surface.
The lower teeth are cleaned from bottom to top. The upper teeth are cleaned from top to bottom. Dentist recommended soft brushes. Toothbrush should be replaced every four – six weeks.
In addition to good dental hygiene techniques and a good toothbrush, it is necessary to brush your teeth after meals and for at least two minutes.
Be sure to use dental floss before brushing.
Visit the dentist at least twice a year.
Schedule a professional teeth cleaning twice a year.
