Are we brushing our teeth wrong?

Bass method

The don’t mean to use a fish.

I’m being told to lightly brush at the gum line, preferably using a “sonic” style electric toothbrush. And to use a water pick, and to floss.

For the past two years I’ve seen the same dental hygienist every six months. She gives me a wonderful narration about how to properly brush and floss, and the consequences of skipping it.

Poor dental hygiene can cause heart problems. Really! Weird but true.
