Brush the Right Way: A Two-Minute Routine | The Smile Factory

Most people brush twice a day yet still miss the same spots. Technique matters more than force: a soft brush held at 45 degrees along the gum line removes plaque without grinding away enamel.

The two-minute structure

• 30 seconds on the outer surfaces of each quadrant
• 30 seconds on the inner surfaces
• Gentle strokes on the chewing surfaces
• A light sweep across the tongue

Replace your brush every three months, or sooner if the bristles fan out. If you notice bleeding that continues beyond a week, book a check-up rather than brushing harder.
