Dentists and dental associations worldwide overwhelmingly recommend the brushing technique called the Bass Method. This method consists of always brushing away from the gum line (i.e., from gum to tooth).
The Bass Method effectively removes plaque and provides a healthy massage to the gums. This promotes optimal blood circulation and avoids separating the gums away from the teeth and pushing food particles under the gum line (one of the main causes of gingivitis).
Although healthy and recommended by dentists, this method is often hard to follow with a manual toothbrush and virtually impossible with most electric toothbrushes. The OObrush® technology was developed to strictly comply with the Bass Method.
Brushing after every meal is one of the fundamental principles of dental hygiene. The objective of brushing is to remove dental plaque in order to prevent the formation of cavities and the development of gum problems.
