A member asked:
Do brushing techniques vary slightly depending on a person's gums? or is there one right way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Brushing techniques: While there are some generally preferred techniques and guidelines, it can vary from dentist to dentist, patient to patient and individual circumstances and needs. It is best that each patient work with their own dentist (and dental hygienist) to evaluate, recommend and monitor brushing and flossing effectiveness.
