It is the main cause of cavities and gum disease If plaque remains on the teeth, it mixes with saliva and eventually hardens, forming tartar/calculus.

Tartar is an accumulation of mineral deposits and hardened plaque. It creates a rough surface that provides the perfect home for growing bacteria. Not only is tartar a threat to healthy gums, but it also presents a cosmetic problem.

Place a toothbrush at a 45-degree angle and gently brush teeth in an elliptical motion. Brush the outside of the teeth, inside the teeth, your tongue and the chewing surfaces and in between teeth. Using a back and forth motion causes the gum to recede, expose the root surface & cause sensitivity. 1. {_jn§v

Electric toothbrush Types of brushes- manual & electric Frequency of brushing- twice daily Duration of brushing- three minutes at a time When to change a brush- splaying & fraying of bristles indicate replacement of brush as these are ineffective for cleaning & harbor bacteria causing dental diseases. Brushing of tongue is advised for correction of bad breath Brushing (Contd.) Manual toothbrush

\n§-fpsS Ip«n-bpsS ]Ãp-I-fpsS {_jn-§v. We suggest that you sit on the floor with your childs head on your lap. This allows you to have better access and view of your childs teeth. For infants, use a damp wash cloth and rub your babys teeth.

BRUSHING YOUR CHILDS TEETH (Cont.) Use only a pea size amount of toothpaste. Start with the back teeth on the cheek side. Gently brush in little circular motion until you reach the other side. Repeat on the tongue side, and on the other arch. Brush the biting surfaces back and forth. Lastly, gently brush the tongue.

2. ^vtfmÊn§v Dental floss remove dental plaque from Interdental areas & undersurface of bridge inaccessible to ordinary brush PROCEDURE Wrap about 18 inches of floss around your middle fingers. Using your thumbs and forefingers gently pass the floss between your teeth. Never "snap" the floss; it can damage the gums. Gently scrape the side of the tooth with the floss while pulling the floss up through the contact (between the teeth). Repeat this method on all your teeth. move to a clean area of floss after each tooth.

kaq-l-Xe {]Xn-tcm[w ^vfqssdUv Fluoride Fluoride is a compound of the element fluorine, which is found universally throughout nature. Fluoride is absorbed easily into tooth enamel. Fluoride makes the entire tooth structure more resistant to decay and promotes remineralization, which aids in repairing early decay before the damage is even visible. "Systemic" fluoride is ingested when added to public and private water supplies(1ppm), soft drinks and teas, and is available in dietary supplement form.
