Why is keeping your teeth clean so important for your oral health, your overall health… and your confidence?
Plaque is the thin, sticky film of bacteria that is constantly forming on our teeth.
It’s the main cause of tooth decay, gum disease and other dental problems.
Effectively fighting and removing plaque is the foundation for great oral health for life. If we fail to remove plaque, it hardens into tartar – a yellow or brown-coloured deposit. The only way to get rid of tartar is to visit the dental hygienist.
But we can easily prevent it with a great oral health routine.

How to clean your teeth for a healthy mouth
Many dental problems are caused by brushing the wrong way.
Putting this right can be a gamechanger.

And if you take a little time to learn and incorporate them into your daily routine…
… you can change your oral health – and overall health – forever.
Why it's no good...
Brushing quickly will only remove plaque from the parts of your teeth that are easy to access.
If you don’t properly brush the backs of your teeth or the more difficult-to-reach areas – behind the molars and premolars, for example – plaque will continue to accumulate.
Why it’s no good…
Many reasons including:
i) It damages the tooth enamel
ii) It can lead to receding gums, which exposes the “neck” of the tooth that sits between the crown and the root. This, in turn, can lead to the pain of sensitive teeth… followed by decay, infection, gingivitis, periodontitis and eventually even tooth loss.
iii) Hard bristles cannot properly clean the sulcus – the groove between the teeth and gums, which is a breeding ground for the bacteria that cause plaque
And now, the best brushing methods…

Why it’s so good…
You won’t be able to enjoy really clean teeth unless you use interdental brushes to brush in the interdental spaces – the spaces between your teeth.
Many millions of people are still yet to join the interdental cleaning revolution…
… even though failing to do so is a major health risk…
… because the gaps between your teeth are the perfect breeding ground for dental plaque.
Use Curaprox CPS interdental brushes to gently clean your interdental spaces… before or after brushing your teeth every evening.
A single cleaning movement is all you need: Once in and out. Done.
Here’s our ultimate guide to using CPS interdental brushes.
IMPORTANT: Ask a dental professional to measure your interdental spaces to work out which size interdental brushes are right for you. Too small for the space and the brush won’t do the job. Too big and it won’t fit… and could hurt your gums.

BRUSH WITH 'THE SOLO TECHNIQUE'
Why it’s so good…
Take gumline cleaning – and cleaning hard-to-reach surfaces behind the molars – to the next level with ‘the solo technique’ brushing method.
Use a single tuft brush to make precise, gentle, “shaking” movements along the gumline – from one side of the tooth to the other.
It takes a little practice.
But dental professionals says it’s the perfect way to clean the gumline and behind the molars.
