For gentle cleaning, start by dipping a soft-bristled toothbrush into the dry powder so a light layer adheres to the bristles. Brush using gentle, circular motions rather than scrubbing back and forth, and avoid applying excessive pressure. The mechanical cleaning works through the friction of the fine powder particles, so harsh scraping isn't necessary and could be abrasive. Focus on all tooth surfaces. After brushing, rinse your mouth thoroughly to remove any residual powder. This product is intended for adults and older children who can brush carefully and rinse well. It can fit into a morning and evening routine, especially if you enjoy alternating between toothpaste and powder. If you have very sensitive teeth, easily irritated gums, or enamel concerns, consulting a dentist before use is a sensible precaution.
