At present, the internationally recognized effective brushing method is Pap brushing method, also known as horizontal vibration method, which is an effective method to remove dental plaque and tartar recommended by American Dental Association.
1. Put a proper amount of toothpaste on the toothbrush. Don't touch toothpaste with water first. Put the bristles on the neck of the teeth. The bristles of the toothbrush form a 45-degree angle with the long axis of the teeth. Press gently to make a part of the bristles of the toothbrush enter the adjacent space between two teeth, and then horizontally vibrate for a short distance, with the horizontal vibration amplitude not exceeding two millimeters.
2. It is best to brush your teeth in order, from side to side, from inside to outside, with two or three teeth as a group, with the upper teeth brushing from top to bottom and the lower teeth brushing from bottom to top.
3. A group of brushes, when changing each group, it is best to repeat the teeth of the previous group to avoid missing. For the inside of the upper and lower incisors, it is necessary to erect the toothbrush, gently press it and brush it up and down.
4. Put the toothbrush bristles directly on the occlusal surface and brush them back and forth with a little force.
Also pay attention to the back of the last tooth. We put the toothbrush behind the last tooth and brush it gently for two or three times, so that several tooth surfaces are taken care of.
In addition, the toothbrush needs to be replaced every three months, and the brushing time is not less than three minutes each time.
