What's the best way to brush your teeth (and more tooth care issues)?

I have had a few dentists in the past 15 years. One said to brush at an angle into the gumline to get my teeth clean up to the gums. Another said not to brush at an angle because it would just wear away the gums. Instead, he said, brush side to side. A third said that up-and-down or circular motion is the way to go.





How do you brush, and does anybody really have any idea about the best way to brush?





Also, I have been having tooth sensitivity near the gumline on one of my teeth (especially when I eat hard foods or touch the area). My dentist did a small bonding job there to relieve the sensitivity, but I still have it. Any idea what might cause it? It's not extremely aggravating--just annoying.





Thanks.

brush vertically be sure not to put too much pressure on it
Reply:I typically brush with a toothbrush and toothpaste. No particular way, and I've got great teeth and gums.
Reply:I agree with the circular motion. I think that's the best way to clean teeth and get the gums
Reply:Brush each tooth gently...in a circular motion....just at the gum line....no need to brush hard..other wise you could get gum recession.....It should take you no Less than 2 minutes. Just be gentle...and care for each tooth......Most importantly don't forget to floss.....for it will keep your gums and teeth healthy....


trust me i know.
Reply:i floss and scrape my teeth before i brush and then i brush up and down and then side to side and sometimes my gums get a little irrated but the listerine takes that away
