Brushing with Dr. Martin

Congratulations to all our patients who have done such a great job on the their brushing! We have few helpful hints to help everyone be great brushers:

- Use a timer - it should take at least 2 minutes to really brush your teeth well.
- Look in the mirror when you are finished. Pull your lip up or down so that you can really see below the brackets.
- Focus on brushing the gums, not just the teeth.
- Try Agent Cool Blue (by Listerine) to help the plaque show more.
- Change your toothbrush more frequently. When the bristles start to splay, it's time for a new brush.

Hope you find these tips helpful!
