tooth brushing

Tooth brushing involves using a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to clean your teeth and gums. The goal is to remove food particles, plaque (a sticky film of bacteria), and prevent decay and gum disease. Proper technique includes brushing all surfaces of each tooth—outside, inside, and chewing surfaces—and gently massaging the gums. Brushing for about two minutes twice daily is recommended for optimal oral health. Regular brushing helps maintain fresh breath, prevent cavities, and promote overall oral hygiene, contributing to a healthy, confident smile.
