Toothbrush Tips

·    A worn out brush is less effective removing plaque and it may harbour bacteria.  Remember to replace your brush every 3 months. 
·    Use a brush with soft round-ended bristles.  Bristles that are too hard, worn or frayed, can damage teeth.
·    Spend a minimum of 2 to 3 minutes brushing your teeth, twice a day.  Most people only spend about 45 seconds.  Be gentle and hold the brush at a 45-degree angle to the gumline.
·    Try to choose a toothbrush with the Canadian Dental Association Seal of Approval.
·    Electric toothbrushes are helpful for patients who do not have complete manual dexterity.  There are a number of useful brushes on the market that will stimulate the gums while they cleanse the tooth surfaces. 
·    A complete home care regimen must include flossing.  Using dental floss once daily is the only way to clean plaque from the surfaces between the teeth.
