However, do you know the best way to brush? Many people brush quickly, up and down or forwards and backwards.

The problem starts when plaque can build up along the gum line and can bring bacteria that can cause infections. Look after your gums with the use of a mouthwash and floss between and around your gums gently backwards and forwards.<\/p>\n<p>For more guidance or advice about taking care of your dental health, you can join us at our <strong>dentist in Mackay<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>All treatment carries risks.
