Care of the Teeth
"By the time most persons are old enough to think much about it, they have been brushing their teeth for years.
So they take the method for granted and continue to swish the brush around with a fine display of action but with no thought: and frequently the only remaining virtue of the brush is that of long and faithful service."
This is the comment of David W. McLean, D.D.S. who writes on "The Art of the Tooth Brush" in Hygeia and outlines the proper method of tooth brushing.
The operation of tooth brushing should require not less than three minutes for each jaw, three times a day: on rising, after luncheon and before retiring, and the last is the most important of the three.
Dentifrices to be used on tooth brushes should be regarded as cleansing agents and not as medications or cures.
