Dental examination by the 
Dentist in Brampton
Dentist in Brampton taking a complete examination of 
your teeth, gums and mouth by your dentist. The 
dental exam involves all or some of the following 
steps:
Updating your medical history
It is important to inform your dentist about your 
previous medical history. Dentist Brampton should 
know:
•If you smoke.
•If you suffer from allergies.
•If you wear a medical device.
•If you are taking any over-the-counter, prescription or 
herbal medicine.
•If you have changed medications since your last visit.
•If you have had any surgery.
Do you have trouble 
brushing your teeth?
If you have difficulty holding your 
toothbrush due to arthritis or other 
reasons, ask Brampton dental to suggest a 
larger handled toothbrush specifically 
designed for people with reduced mobility 
hand, fingers and wrist. 
You can also try bulking up the handle of 
your toothbrush with a sponge, several 
layers of aluminum foil, or using a bicycle 
handle. Electric toothbrushes are popular 
with many patients
How old people should brush their teeth
Use a toothbrush with soft bristles and rounded ends. Choose a brush the size and 
shape of which allows you to reach the rear teeth. 
Change your toothbrush every 3 to 6 months. A toothbrush with bent or worn 
bristles cleans poorly and may damage your gums. Wash your hands before 
brushing.
Run your brush under water, and then drop a small amount of fluoride toothpaste 
on it.
Hold the brush at a 45 degree angle to the base of the teeth where the gums 
meet. Then, with light brushing movements, brush towards the end of the tooth 
without rubbing. Brushing your teeth too hard for years can lead to gum recession.
Clean all surfaces of each tooth, that is, the cheek side, the tongue side and the 
chewing surface.
For the inner surface of the anterior teeth, use the tip of the brush.
Brush your tongue.
Rinse your mouth with water.
Trouble flossing
Sometimes your gums bleed when you start 
to floss. The bleeding usually stops after a 
few days of flossing. If not, consult your 
dentist.
Floss can become unraveled when hung 
against an old filling or on the jagged or 
uneven edge of a tooth. If so, try another 
type of dental floss or tape. Your dentist or 
dental hygienist can recommend one. If 
your dental floss continues to fray, see your 
dentist.
If you have trouble flossing, try using a 
plastic floss holder. Your dentist or dental 
hygienist can recommend one. Dental tape 
may also be easier to use because it is 
wider and easier to hold than dental floss.
How to floss
Take a floss of the length of your arm. Wrap it around your middle fingers, leaving a few inches 
between your hands
Stretch the thread firmly between your thumbs and forefingers
Use your thumbs and forefingers to slide the floss gently between your teeth to the gum line. Form a 
semi-circle at the base of the tooth.
Slide the floss 2 to 3 times from the base of the gum towards the end of the tooth in a light rubbing 
motion. Be careful not to push too hard to floss between your teeth. This could suddenly press against 
the gums and injure them.
Make sure to clean both sides of each tooth, not forgetting the backs of the last molars.
Use a clean part of the floss after each tooth.
Wash your hands after flossing, as bacteria in your mouth can come in contact with your hands.
