Brushing your teeth is essential to maintain good dental health. Brushing removes the bacteria that promote tooth decay and some plaque that can cause gum disease. You brush your teeth on a daily basis. But do you think you know the proper technique to do it? Here’s a simple brushing technique to keep your pearly whites healthy:
Modified Bass Brushing Technique
The Modified Bass Brushing Technique is the most widely accepted and most effective method of brushing for adults. Following steps will help you practice the modified bass technique with much ease.
Bristles are directed apically at 45 degrees to long axis of tooth, mostly it is difficult to place at 45 degrees so placing parallel to teeth is also beneficial. Now press the bristles slightly so that they partly enter the gums. Vibrate the Brush back and forth with short strokes for 10-15 strokes for each position and move to the next teeth. (Use gentle but firm vibratory strokes without removing bristle ends from sulcus).
