Next, we’ll see how the bass brushing technique is performed on sensitive gums to avoid irritation and bleeding:
Start by applying a small amount of toothpaste to your toothbrush.
Place the toothbrush horizontally above the gum line, where it joins the tooth, forming a 45-degree angle.
Perform horizontal rocking motions on the gingival groove, just above the union between the gum and teeth, covering one, two or three teeth depending on the size of the brush head, to reach the bottom of the groove.
After a few seconds of rocking motion, make a vertical pulling motion by gently moving the brush from the gums to the edge of the tooth.
It covers the entire surface of the outer surface of the teeth, both the upper and lower dental arches. Once done, repeat the process on the inner face, holding the brush at a 45-degree angle.
Take your time to do a thorough, gentle brushing, taking between 3 and 5 minutes to cover the entire surface of the teeth. Also, do not forget to clean the chewing surface of the molars and tongue.
If you notice slight discomfort or bleeding while brushing, the pressure applied is higher than recommended. Correct the technique by making gentler movements and without pressing the brush against the teeth and gums.
Thorough cleaning of the mouth using dental floss or nearby brushes, as well as an alcohol-free mouthwash.
Remember that brushing should be done at least 3 times a day, always after every meal.
It is very important that when performing this brushing technique, there is no strong pressure with the toothbrush. Avoid irritation and bleeding of the gums, as well as erosion of the tooth enamel, and learn how to brush your teeth without damaging the gums with Bass technology.
