The Right Way to Brush (It Matters!)
By Regency Dental Group
Brushing twice a day? Great start. But how you brush makes all the difference.
Here are a few simple tips to make every brushing session count:
- Use a soft-bristled brush — gentle on gums, tough on plaque.
- Brush for two full minutes (set a timer — or play your favorite song).
- Angle the bristles toward your gumline to clean where buildup hides.
- Don’t forget your tongue — it’s a hotspot for bacteria.
