Teeth Cleaning
Good daily cleaning is one of the simplest and most effective ways to support healthy teeth and gums between your dental visits.
Brushing twice a day for around two minutes with a fluoride toothpaste helps remove plaque and reduce the risk of decay and gum disease. Cleaning between the teeth, using floss or interdental brushes, reaches areas a toothbrush cannot, where plaque often builds up.
Your dentist or hygienist can show you an effective brushing technique and recommend suitable tools for your particular needs, whether that is a manual or electric toothbrush, or specific interdental aids.
How often should I brush my teeth?
Most people are advised to brush twice a day, for around two minutes each time, using a fluoride toothpaste.
Is an electric toothbrush better than a manual one?
Both can be effective when used correctly. Some people find an electric toothbrush easier to use well. Your dentist or hygienist can advise on what may suit you best.
Do I need to clean between my teeth as well as brushing?
Yes, brushing alone cannot reach between the teeth. Floss or interdental brushes help remove plaque from these areas, reducing the risk of decay and gum problems.
