The subtle art of tooth brushing

16.06.2023

Brushing your teeth, regardless of age, is an integral part of everyone's morning routine, but are you sure you're doing this routine correctly? Dentists recommend the golden 2/2 rule of brushing. It's easy - two minutes, twice a day, in a circular motion, from top to bottom. As a rule, in everyday life, the more strongly and thoroughly the surfaces or household items are scrubbed, the cleaner they are, but this does not apply to our oral cavity in any case.

Strong and aggressive brushing can cause serious damage to the teeth. Although restorative dental treatment is possible with us, avoiding the damage caused by aggressive tooth extraction is the best solution. From our favorite movie "The Karate Kid" the karate master Miyagi teaches us "harder, rougher does not mean more effective" Let's think about the words of the master.


Brushing teeth with aggressive, rough movements, instead of improving hygiene, can cause great damage to our teeth and gums. Using hard and rough brushes can cause bleeding gums, increased sensitivity and a number of dental problems. So, don't be too rough on your teeth, they are sensitive - in fact, they will become sensitive and cause pain if you ignore the rules of brushing properly.

Don't slow down

Stress, anxiety, and the usual morning rush to finish grooming and rush to work can unknowingly lead to harsh, hurried chewing. Our advice is to take a deep breath and give yourself only 2 minutes each time you brush your teeth. A gentle hand is beneficial for the teeth - experts say. Gently scrubbing removes plaque much better without causing damage. If you're using an electric toothbrush, one key trick is to hold it with just three fingers to ease pressure and gently clean.

Say goodbye to a rough brush

You think that coarse brushes will remove plaque better? You are wrong. Such brushes require more attention for the correct maneuver. If that expensive brush you recently bought feels rough, try moving the pad of your finger upwards when brushing. If the brush head doesn't bend easily when you lay it down with your finger, there's a good chance you've wasted your money and should replace it.

Update regularly

Replace your toothbrush every 2 months - and definitely before the brush loses its shape. This way, you are guaranteed a safe and efficient extraction process.

Now that you have already learned the skillful technique of brushing your teeth, do not forget about floss and irrigator, which are relatively new items in our country for perfect oral care and about which we will definitely talk in the next article.
