TOOTHBRUSH Abrasion
One of the most common causes of abra-
sion is improper toothbrushing. You can
prevent toothbrush abrasion by remember-
ing the "THREE T’S": Toothbrush,
Technique...And Touch.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT TOOTHBRUSH
Use a toothbrush that has soft, polished
bristles, as they are less likely to injure
gum tissue. Choose a size and a shape that
feels comfortable and allows you to reach
the surfaces of every tooth. Treat yourself
to a new toothbrush every three to four
months or sooner if the bristles become
worn, splayed or frayed. A hard, brittle
brush can injure your gums. Children's
brushes may need to be replaced more
often, as they can wear them out quickly.
WATCH YOUR TECHNIOUE
Place your toothbrush at a 45-degrcc angle
to the gums. Move the brush gently back
and forth in short (tooth-wide) strokes.
Brush the outer, inner and chewing sur-
faces of the teeth, and use the “toe" of the
brush for the inner front tooth surfaces.
Twice-daily brushing with a flouride tooth-
paste and daily cleaning between the teeth
with floss or interdental cleaners will help
keep teeth healthy and cavities at bay.
When shopping for toothbrushes, tooth-
paste and other oral care products, choose
those that bear the ADA Seal of
Acceptance-an important symbol of a
dental product's safety and effectiveness.
Use A GENTLE Touch
A key to successful brushing is to use a gen-
tle touch. Scrubbing may help clean floors,
but it's devastating to teeth and gums!
Vigorous brushing is neither safe nor neces-
sary to remove debris from the mouth. All
toothpastes and gels have some degree of
abrasiveness, which helps to remove
plaque and stains. By gently moving the
toothbrush back and forth, you can clean
your teeth effectively while preventing
injury to the gums and erosion of the tooth
