The key to a great smile is a healthy smile

Let's review the techniches to achieve one

The Essentials: Always start with a good tooth brush

• A soft manual tooth brush
• A soft electric toothbrush

The Goal of Brushing is to remove bacterial plaque that forms every day on your teeth.

• Concentrate on brushing along the gum line.
• Don't brush your gums, brush a little under the gum.
• Brush for 4-5 minutes each time twice a day.

Electric brushes are moved back and forth along the gum line while manual brushes use a sulcular brush stroke starting under the gum.
