Thank you Dr. Smrecek for my beautiful smile! You and your staff have been extremely compassionate, knowledgeable, and professional. I have been to many dentists over the years, but you are the only one I have recommended to family and friends. Your integrity, attention to detail and sincere concern for your patients' health and comfort was evident from my first visit. You are truly amazing.

Corona Del Mar dentist: How To Properly Brush Your Teeth
Brushing our teeth is an everyday activity yet the majority of people do not know the correct method to properly brush their teeth, which may lead to oral concerns in the long run. The Corona Del Mar dentist is concerned that Plaque, Calculus, Bleeding Gums, Halitosis, Gum disease, Caries, and tooth discoloration can occur.
Most of these symptoms, however, do not evoke any kind of symptoms or pain until they’ve progressed to a relatively advanced stage. Many people search on the Internet regarding “how to brush my dogs teeth” when they should be searching for how to properly brush their own.
A Laguna Beach dentist suggests that there are various tooth brushing techniques and one that is widely accepted is called the “bass method”.
The following are some tips of effectively brushing your teeth, which would keep dental problems at bay.
-
Use a soft bristled tooth brush, hard bristles damage your gums leading to gingival
recession. Wet your toothbrush and take a pea amount of toothpaste.
-
A Newport Beach Cosmetic dentist suggests for you to hold the tooth brush tilted an angle of 45 degrees towards your gums. The upper teeth (Maxillary teeth) should be cleaned first. Begin at the frontal (visible) aspect of the most posterior (Back) teeth and clean the teeth 3 at a time.
-
Use short, back and forth motions without exerting too much pressure. Concentrate on the part of tooth which is nearer to the gums (the neck of the tooth technically referred as Cervical 1/3 of tooth.) as improper cleaning of this part is most often responsible for gum diseases.
-
First clean the frontal (visible/outer) surface of teeth, then the chewing surface and lastly the inner surfaces. If you find the head of brush too large to maintain the 45 degree angle while cleaning the inner surface of teeth, use the brush vertically.
