Brushing
Brushing is done mainly to remove plaque which is a collection of bacteria. Plaque forms within hours, so brushing twice a day is a must. Type of brush is basically choice of the individuals. However, hard bristled ones and horizontal vigorous brushing should be avoided. Proper brushing technique should be followed. Otherwise, there will be loss of enamel and recession of gums. Change your brush once the bristles widen or every 3 months. You can use electric brushes for efficient cleaning.

Interdental Cleaning
Effective removal of plaque is essential for dental and periodontal health. Plaque control by tooth brushing alone will not be sufficient to control gingival and periodontal diseases because, periodontal gum diseases start predominantly interdental. Plaque formation begin at the interdental spaces where tooth brush does not reach. According to the space between the teeth interdental cleaners such as Dental Floss or Interdental brush can be chosen. Interdental cleaning should be done prior to brushing.
- Flossing every day helps to remove plaque between teeth. Dental floss is the most widely recommended tool for all those without much of interdental gap. Flossing can be done with a long piece of floss held in between the middle fingers or with a floss holder. The stretched floss is passed gently between the teeth and it is wrapped around the side of one tooth and back and forth motion is given. Then its wrapped around the side of the other tooth and same motions are given to clean. Floss should not be snapped forcefully beyond the contact as it might injure the gums. Flossing can be made easier and less time consuming with a floss holder. (please check our video).
- Interdental Brush is used to clean when the interdental gap is more. There are various sizes of interdental brushes. According to the gap present, the size is suggested by the dentist. Intedentalbrushes are inserted in between teeth and short back and forth strokes given to clean the gap (like one cleans the bottle neck with a brush).
