In situ, the toothbrush vibrates horizontally for 4-5 times. When vibrating, the toothbrush only moves about 1mm, which can crush the dental plaque on the gingival margin and remove it from the tooth surface.

Vertical brush method. Parallel to the teeth, the tip of the hair points to the gum, and twist the toothbrush hard to make the bristles at 45 degrees with the teeth, and the tip of the bristles is as close as possible to the edge of the gum; Rotate the toothbrush, brush the bristles downward along the gap between the teeth when brushing the upper teeth, and brush from bottom to top when brushing the lower teeth; Each part rotates 5-6 times, and then moves to the adjacent tooth surface.

Periodontal disease will lead to the recession of the underlying gums and alveolar bones, and the dental space that should be occupied by gums and alveolar bones is exposed, which makes patients feel that the dental space is getting bigger and bigger.
