Your Effective Brushing Routine

Healthy teeth, fresh breath, and bright smiles are not created in an instant. In order to gain these perks, you must put in the work. Having an effective daily oral hygiene is an essential part of the health of our mouth as well as our overall well-being. Recent studies have identified links between gum disease and general health such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease and so it’s never been more important to look after your teeth. At Fresh Meadows Dental Care, Dr. Farid Hakimzadeh encourages you to utilize these brushing tips in between dental appointments.



  • Place your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle against the gums.

  • Move the brush back and forth gently in short (tooth-wide) strokes.

  • Brush the outer tooth surfaces, the inner tooth surfaces, and the chewing surfaces of the teeth.

  • Use the tip of the brush to clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, using a gentle up-and-down stroke.

  • Brush your tongue to remove bacteria and don’t forget to floss!
