When it comes to maintaining good oral hygiene, there are many steps and
processes you can use to do so; flossing, mouthwash, specialised diet, etc.
However, one of the most effective, and widely used methods for ensuring high
quality oral hygiene is brushing.

With this method the aim is to remove plaque from above the gum line, and is
also good for patients with gingivitis.
Technique: angle the bristles at 45 degrees toward the gum line. The bristles
should be half on the gums and half on the tooth’s surface. By making short, light
horizontal movements, the plaque is removed from above the gum line. The
motion helps to remove plaque and stimulate the gums, and is great for targeting
small groups of teeth effectively. Once you have finished with a set of teeth, move
to the next and repeat.
