Question:
What is the advantage of brushing your teeth in a circular direction?
Will it help whiten better?
Answers:
A back and forth motion can actually act as a "sawing" motion and cause injury to the gingiva (gums). The circular motion help to remove debris away from the gums, the teeth, and where the gums meet the teeth-- all without damaging the gums. There is no real other advantage.
Aim for 2 mins of brushing and concentrate on reaching every surface of every tooth. Make sure to brush at least 2x day and floss 1x day.
