Know the Different Methods of Tooth-Brushing

Today the various types of tooth-brushing methods are developed. These methods are effective in stimulate the gingiva, removing plaque and debris, also able to deliver the fluoridated dentifrice to the tooth surface. Remember to make at least 10 strokes are advised for each area, that is for adequate in cleaning. The different tooth-brushing methods are as follows:

The Bass Method
In this method, the brush bristles should be pointed at 45 degree angle directly into the gingival sulcus. Then, gently vibrate the brush back and front with very short strokes up to about the count of 10 to 20 strokes. Repeat it by repositioning the brush to the next group of the teeth. This method is effective for everyone and in all dental conditions, especially for those who have periodontal problems.

Charters Method
In this method, the position of the brush/filaments should be towards the occlusal or incisal or chewing surface of the tooth. Then gently rotate the handle, by flexing the bristles and bringing them to the contact. The brush should be vibrated in slow circular motion. This method is useful for the people with fixed prosthetic appliances, severe loss of interdental papilla height, subsided ulcerative gingivitis or previous gingival surgery.

Rolling Stroke Method
In this method, the filaments should be directed towards the root of the tooth. You should place the side of the brush on the gingiva, and then by exerting light pressure, you should draw the brush towards the occlusal or chewing surface.

The Stillman's Method
It is similar to the bass method in which the filaments are placed at the angle of 45 degree, but unlike the bass method the filaments in this case, are placed a half into the sulcus and remaining half on the gingiva and the same stroke is used as bass. This method is useful for the people with slightly reduced inter-dental papilla or hypersensitive gingiva.

The Fone's Method
This method is useful for the people with poor manual dexterity and for young children. In this method first you should occlude the teeth and then press lightly against the gingiva and posterior teeth. Then, revolve it in a fast and circular motion by using the circles in a large diameter. Now move the brush slowly towards the anterior and continue until all the facial surfaces have been brushed. Use circular motion with the mouth open on the mandibular lingual and maxilliary surfaces
