Brushing your teeth twice a day is important — but brushing the right way is what truly protects your teeth and gums. Most people brush daily yet still struggle with plaque, cavities, or gum bleeding simply because their technique is incorrect.
At Align & Smile Dental Care, Sector 18, Noida, we teach a simple, dentist-approved brushing method to help you maintain a cleaner, healthier smile every day.
✅ Why Proper Brushing Technique Matters
Using the correct technique helps:
Remove plaque and bacteria more effectively
Prevent cavities and tooth decay
Reduce gum inflammation and bleeding
Keep your breath fresher
Polish the teeth better for a brighter smile
Even with regular brushing, wrong technique can leave harmful plaque behind.
🪥 The Correct Brushing Technique (Dentist-Approved)
Follow these steps for best results:
1. Place your brush at a 45° angle
Tilt the bristles toward the gums — this helps clean plaque stuck at the gumline.
2. Use gentle circular motions
Avoid harsh scrubbing. Small, gentle circles clean better and protect enamel.
3. Brush every surface
Outer surfaces
Inner surfaces
Chewing surfaces
Don’t forget behind the front teeth — angle the brush vertically.
4. Brush for a full 2 minutes
Most people stop after 30–40 seconds. Use a timer or electric brush.
5. Don’t forget the tongue
Bacteria on the tongue causes bad breath.
📌 Common Brushing Mistakes to Avoid
Brushing too hard
Using a worn-out toothbrush
Missing the gumline
Brushing immediately after acidic foods
Not replacing the toothbrush every 3 months
🦷 Expert Tip from Dentists
Switching to a soft-bristled brush or electric toothbrush improves technique and protects enamel.
