Always brush your teeth as well as you can and see your dentist twice a year for your exam and professional cleaning.

You should be brushing 2x/day for 2 full minutes by the clock with a soft toothbrush. You should also be flossing daily. You should also see Dentist 2x/year for professional cleaning. That said, return to your Dentist to evaluate the rough areas on your teeth. He/she should be able to easily smooth the rough areas.

I my front teeth and lower teeth gums are red only. It's not caused by oral hygiene and either brushing hard. I been cleaning it a year now and its red still no matter how much I clean and floss. It has to have a different cause than oral hygiene?
Some of my teeth I only manage to floss it half way up instead of right up to the gum. Will this cause plague build up at the very top inbetween them?
