Hey guys iam giving an idea about the ideal brushing technique to be fallow regularly to avoid dental problems.

• we should brush our teeth daily twice in the morning and before going to bed.
• we should use only soft or medium size bristles tooth brush to avoid damage to the periodontal tissue.
• we should avoid sticky foods before going to bed to avoid incidence of caries.
• we should meet an dentist twice a year to take an oral hygiene instructions.
• below i have explaned one of the ideal brushing technique which avoid dental related problems.

The Bass method: Also called as intrasulcular method.

 Technique:

 1. Place the head of a soft brush parallel to the occlusal plane, with the brush head covering three teeth, beginning at the most distal tooth in the arch. 

2. Place the bristles at the gingival margin, establishing an angle of 45 degrees to the long axis of the teeth. 

3. Exert gentle vibratory pressure, using short back and forth motions without dislodging the tips of the bristles. This forces the bristle ends into the sulci, as well as into interproximal embrassures and should produce perceptible blanching of the gingiva.

 4. Complete 20 strokes in the same position.

 5. Lift the brush, move it anteriorly and repeat the process for next three teeth. To help reach the lingual surfaces of the anterior teeth, if the brush seems too large, insert the brush vertically.

•  Press the heel of the brush into the gingival sulci and proximal surfaces at a 45° angle to the long axis of the teeth. 
• Activate the brush with 20 short vibratory strokes. 
• To reach occlusal surfaces, press the bristles firmly into the pits and fissures.
•  Activate the brush into 20 short back and forth strokes, advancing section by section until all posterior teeth in all quadrants are cleaned.
•  To reach distal surfaces of the last tooth in the arch, open the mouth wide and vibrate the tip of the brush against that surface, 20 times for each tooth.
•  Advantages 
• 1. Short back and forth motion is easy to master. 
• 2. Cleaning action is concentrated on the cervical and interproximal portions of the teeth, where most of the dental plaque detrimental to the gingivae is located.

Modified Bass method :

•  The first part of the modified Bass method is identical to the Bass method.
•  The modification consists of sweeping the bristles downwards over the tooth surface occlusally after completing the vibratory motion in the gingival sulci.
