Even Dentists Differ on the Best Tooth-Brushing Method

What's the best way to brush your teeth? Dentists disagree, and no one can say for sure, according to a new study. "There's no good evidence at the moment that one method of brushing is more effective than another," Dr. John Wainwright, the study's lead author, told Reuters Health in an email. "Ask more than one dentist or hygienist how to brush your teeth, and they're likely to give conflicting messages. It's confusing and potentially will make you wonder who you should trust to give you the best advice," he said.
