Do you think you are brushing your teeth well? ✨

Think you’re brushing correctly?

That’s where many people go wrong.

Most of us assume our brushing routine is fine, but habits like brushing too hard, skipping certain areas, or rushing through it can quietly cause plaque build-up, gum problems, and even enamel wear over time.

Good brushing isn’t about doing it more often — it’s about doing it the right way.

Swipe through to see some of the most common brushing mistakes we notice in the clinic, along with simple tips to correct them.

Your future smile (and your dentist) will definitely appreciate it 🦷✨
