How to brush your teeth properly

In this section, we discuss the three most important aspects of a good brushing session.

Choose a good toothbrush

The head of the toothbrush is particularly important, as it is used to brush your teeth. Go for a toothbrush with a small head. Nowadays you can also find brushes with larger heads in the supermarket, but these are not practical. Also, always buy a brush with soft bristles. The hardness is often indicated on the packaging. There are soft, medium and hard ones. Hard bristles are bad for your teeth and you will get gum inflammation faster.

Brushing: choosing the right toothpaste

When you look at the shelves at the supermarket, you will see many different kinds of toothpaste. It is difficult to make an informed choice, because they all have unique qualities. The right toothpaste is personal for everyone. Do you suffer from sensitive teeth, for example? Then go for a toothpaste that relieves the sensitivity. Do you regularly suffer from tartar and bleeding gums? Then choose a toothpaste that is specially made to fight tartar. You can also check out the Consumers’ Association website. They hold an election every year and they nominate the five best toothpaste brands for that year.

Take your time brushing

Many people brush too quickly and/or too hard. Brushing too quickly is bad for your gums and brushing too hard is bad for your enamel. So take it easy when brushing and take your time!

How to brush your teeth

You can brush your teeth with a manual brush and an electric toothbrush, but it is important to use the correct brushing technique.

Brushing with a Power Toothbrush

Place the electric toothbrush with the rounded head without pressure on your tooth. The brush automatically makes a brushing movement, so you only need to hold it still for a few seconds per tooth. Slowly go through all the teeth and don’t forget to brush the back of the teeth!

Brushing your teeth with a regular brush

There are different techniques for brushing your teeth with a regular manual toothbrush. Basically, you can go for a technique that suits you best. It is especially important that you brush quietly and do not skip a tooth. Take your time for each tooth and don’t forget the back teeth.

What is the best way to brush my teeth?
How best to brush your teeth depends on your brushing preference. It is especially important to brush slowly and to give each tooth sufficient attention.
