A member asked:
Is it generally good to brush your teeth immediately after you brushed them once?

No problem: As long as you use the proper toothbrush and brushing techniques that would be fine.

Why: 1) use a soft manual toothbrush. 2) place the brush where the teeth and the gum join together. 3) move the brush in circles. 4) do all teeth this way on the face side and the tongue side. 5) initially the gum may bleed because you are cleaning out an open sore, however this bleeding will stop and the tissue will now begin to heal. 6) follow up with a water pik spraying water in circles.
