Brushing advice from Senova Dental Studios in Watford

What are the four things required for proper toothbrushing?

• The correct angle of brushing
• Brushing in a pattern

How many times a day should you brush?

It’s important to brush at least twice a day using a soft toothbrush.

Why is a soft toothbrush so important?

A soft toothbrush makes it much easier to remove the plaque below the gumline, where periodontal disease starts.

What significance does fluoride provide in your toothpaste?

Fluoride hardens the outer enamel layer of the teeth. It might stop a cavity in its tracks and give you more resistance to cavities.
