Sulca Brushing

There is a piece of tooth under the gum tissue that needs cleaning.    Angle the bristles that are closest to the tooth 90 degrees straight into the gum tissue.  Initially if the tissue is infected it will bleed but cleaning this area daily the bleeding WILL stop within 3 days to a week.    Wiggle the bristles into the gum tissue & give 3 wiggles and then sweep forward.    Inside & outside of every tooth once a day.   Do Not put toothpaste on the brush.  Toothpaste is an abrasive and this surface that you are cleaning is the dentin of the tooth which is less dense than the enamel.   Your gum tissue will become firm like an orange peel.  Coral Pink the color of health.   Once a day , take the time.   Your health is worth the time invested.

A perfect time to sulca brush or cleaning your tongue or just dry brushing is in the shower.  You will brush longer because the water feels relaxing and automatic rinse water.
