Brushing Better: A Simple Daily Routine
Practical tips for a more consistent oral-care routine.
Reviewed by [verified clinician]
A good routine doesn’t need to be complicated. A few practical adjustments can help make your daily oral care more consistent.
Brush with intention
Aim to reach every surface of every tooth, including along the gumline. A timer or an electric toothbrush with a built-in timer can help.
Don’t skip between the teeth
Floss, interdental brushes, or other tools can help clean areas a toothbrush can’t reach. Ask your dental team which option fits your mouth.
Review your routine at your visit
Your dentist or hygienist can show you techniques suited to your teeth and point out areas that may need more attention.
