The Chinese Preventive Medicine Association states: "More than half of people in China do not brush their teeth effectively, largely due to insufficient oral‑health knowledge."
Are you brushing your teeth correctly?
The gold‑standard brushing technique is the Bass Brushing Method. You may follow the "Three‑Three‑Three Rule": brush three times a day, three minutes each time. If you have consumed acidic food or drinks, wait about 30 minutes before brushing to avoid enamel wear.
Stop and think: how do you usually brush your teeth? Do you scrub side‑to‑side, or use up‑and‑down strokes?
Aggressive horizontal side‑to‑side brushing can damage teeth and irritate the gums.
Tooth enamel is extremely thin at the cervical area of the tooth, and some parts are covered with cementum instead. These structures wear easily. Long‑term forceful horizontal brushing leads to cervical abrasion and dental wedge‑shaped defects.
Be a good caretaker of your teeth.
