Charter Method of Brushing
Charter Method of Brushing
The Charter Method of brushing is a great way to remove
plaque near the gum line. It is often instructed by dentists and hygienists.
For those that always feel as though something is in their teeth close to the
gums such as popcorn, the Charter Method is a great technique to keep in mind.
Below are the steps for the Charter Method:
Using a soft toothbrush, face the bristles of the toothbrush
at a 45 degree angle between the teeth and gum line. Unlike the Bass Method,
make sure that the bristles are pointed downward and toward the biting surface
of the teeth.
Gently vibrate the bristles back and forth counting for ten
seconds in that area.
Move the toothbrush to the remaining areas of the arch
repeating the same motion.
When finished, proceed to use the technique on the opposite
arch in all areas. Be sure that bristles are still facing the biting surface.
To finish up the Charter Method, be sure to clean the inside
surface of the teeth facing the tongue using the same technique.
