Oral Hygiene Basics: How to Brush Your Teeth Properly

The Basics of Oral Hygiene

You think you brush your teeth well? Yet, even with twice-daily brushing, many people still suffer from cavities, tartar, or bad breath. Why? Because good brushing can't be improvised.

Here are the real basics of oral hygiene —simple, but often overlooked—for a truly healthy mouth.

⏱ 1. Brush at the right time, for the right duration The basics of oral hygiene

A good brushing session lasts 2 minutes , twice a day, ideally after meals . In the morning to eliminate bacteria from the night, and in the evening to avoid sleeping with plaque.

💡 Tip: Set a timer or use an electric toothbrush with a built-in signal.

🦷 2. Use the right technique

Movement is more important than force. Brushing too hard damages enamel and gums.

  • Use a soft brush

  • Tilts at 45° towards the gums

  • Use gentle circular or vertical movements (never aggressive back and forth movements)

  • Don't forget: tongue, inner cheeks and inside of teeth

🧵 3. Never forget the interdental spaces The basics of oral hygiene

Brushing alone only cleans 60% of the tooth surface . The rest? You need dental floss or interdental brushes to reach it.

➡️ To be done once a day , ideally in the evening.

🪞 4. Brush, toothpaste, mouthwash: choose wisely

It all depends on your needs: sensitive teeth, fragile gums, tartar, etc.

✔ Soft or electric toothbrush
✔ Fluoride toothpaste, adapted to your problem
✔ Mouthwash as a complement, but never to replace brushing

✅ In summary The basics of oral hygiene

Good oral hygiene is based on 4 principles:

  1. Regularity (2x per day, 2 minutes)

  2. Gentle and precise technique

  3. Systematic interdental cleaning

  4. Equipment adapted to your mouth
