Brushing
|
Brushing is a skill that helps remove plaque and food from accessible tongue,
cheek and lip surfaces where fluoride toothpaste and saliva have easy access to neutralise acid and repair demineralised tooth.
Few cavities occur at gum margins where the brush and saliva have easy access.
Almost all cavities occur where brushing cannot remove food trapped between teeth and inside deep grooves on chewing surfaces while eating every
meal or snack.
Trapped food prevents access of saliva and fluoride to neutralise acid and repair demineralised
tooth after eating or while brushing.
Removing food or flossing before brushing provides access for fluoride between teeth.
However then chewing toothpaste with a special foam strip before brushing, forces the fluoride saliva mix inside grooves as well as between teeth, where the brush cannot reach.

It is important to swish the saliva toothpaste mix between teeth and spit out. Do not wash out. |
