Dental Brushing – Techniques That Keep Smiles Strong

At The Confi Dental Clinic in Dickinson, TX, we remind patients that brushing isn’t just about frequency—it’s about using the right technique. Even if you brush twice daily, poor habits can leave plaque behind or even harm your teeth and gums.

The best brushing technique is to place your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to your gums and move it in gentle, circular motions. Avoid aggressive scrubbing, which can erode enamel and cause gum recession. Brushing for two full minutes, twice a day, ensures every surface—inside, outside, and chewing areas—is thoroughly cleaned.

Always use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. For added efficiency, consider an electric toothbrush, which provides consistent pressure and motion. Don’t forget your tongue—it harbors bacteria that can cause bad breath.

Brushing the right way keeps your teeth strong, prevents cavities, and protects your gums. At Confi Dental, we combine education with care, ensuring patients leave with both clean teeth and the right knowledge to maintain oral health at home.
