Q: What's the best way to maintain healthy teeth?
A:
Spend the time and make sure you don't just brush and floss but that you do it correctly.
- Moving in small circular motions keep you toothbrush angled 45 degrees which allows the bristles to sneak right under your gums.
- Don't brush too hard or too fast. Many people think the harder the better but in reality you are just causing trauma to your gums which can cause gingival recession.
- When flossing allow the floss to wrap around each tooth and gently slide the floss under your gums to move away the plaque!
- Keep regular dental visits.
