Dr. Sanda Moldovan shows how to brush your teeth right. Hold a manual brush at 45 degrees where your teeth meet your gums, use small circles, and brush for two minutes twice a day. Skip brushing the gums directly.
45 degrees
Two minutes, twice a day
Foreign. Hi guys, I'm Dr. Sandha and let's talk about brushing. I've gotten so many questions from you about how to brush your teeth properly. Some of you are worried about brushing too hard causing gum recession, so I brought Mo over here so we can see how to brush correctly. Here he is. I don't know, but he's lost his gums a little bit, so we'll just pretend he has gums. Here's my toothbrush. And you know, you can use actually an electric brush. You could use a regular brush. It doesn't really matter as long as your technique is good and you're using the tool right. So when you're brushing with a manual brush, what we recommend you do is actually put it right 45 degree at the connection with the gum and the tooth. So as you right there, you actually want to push the brush slightly under the gum and you want to do small circular motions starting from the back and you extend it all the way to the front. Don't brush the gums. That's really not recommended because you could really damage them if you do that. Definitely make sure you brush two minutes twice a day. And if you want to use an electric brush, hey, that's even better. So how often and how long do you brush? If you have any questions, please tweet me rsanda or go to my website@drsandamoldovan.com until next time, brush hard.
