Recommended Brushing Procedures for Best Tartar and Plaque Removal

  • Put a ½” stripe of TartarEnd® toothpaste on a compact medium bristle brush head fitted to a recommended high amplitude sonic toothbrush.
  • Spread the toothpaste over the teeth with a greater amount on the heavier tartar build-up.
  • Turn on the brush and guide the brush head lightly over the tooth enamel with the bristles perpendicular to the tooth along the gumline. In this position, the fluid dynamics drive TartarEnd® ingredients deep between the teeth and deep below the gum line.
  • Please use the following 2-minute sequence broken into 30 seconds for each quadrant:
    1. Top outside
    2. Top inside
    3. Bottom inside
    4. Bottom outside
  • Spit out the brushings.
  • For additional removal of very heavy buildup, put a pea-sized dab of TartarEnd® on the brush head and smear it onto the location that needs more tartar removal.
  • Brush that location for an additional 60 seconds. Stop!
  • Spit out brushing fluids.
  • Floss AFTER brushing with string, tape, wooden, soft pick, or water flossers.
  • Rinse with water.
