How to brush your teeth properly is an often-discussed topic. If you don't brush your teeth properly, you're at risk of cavities, gingivitis, bleeding gums and other problems you'd like to avoid. Proper brushing technique is not difficult and can be learned quite quickly.
Before you start brushing properly, you should prepare yourself by purchasing a soft enough toothbrush. For example, you can choose our softest toothbrush LYSS, which has 16,360 cleaning fibres. The brush has straight cut fibres and a small head densely packed with fine fibres.
How to perform the correct cleaning technique?
Put a small amount of toothpaste on your toothbrush. A pea-sized amount is enough for cleaning. Then place the toothbrush against the neck of the tooth at a 45-degree angle. The bristles of the toothbrush should reach the space between the tooth and the gum. This is where plaque builds up the most, and if you don't remove enough plaque, it can lead to gingivitis and bleeding from the gums and interdental spaces.
And what kind of movement to perform? You should try to brush with gentle vibrating movements and use them to scrape plaque off your teeth. The idea is not to brush horizontally and thus abrade your tooth enamel with more pressure. If you find it difficult to perform the vibrating motion at first, you can start with small circular movements and gradually build up to the vibration. In this way, you will clean the front and back surfaces of your teeth. Do not forget to clean the biting surfaces of the teeth; simply clean them in a horizontal motion. The shape of our toothbrush makes cleaning your teeth very easy, the brush has a decagonal shape that is comfortable to hold and fits beautifully in the hand.
If you brush your teeth properly, you will effectively prevent tooth decay and inflammation of the tooth or bleeding gums. Learning the correct brushing technique is not difficult and believe me, the results are really worth it.
