What is the Bass Method?

Way back in the 1940’s Dr Charles C Bass developed a simple yet highly effective method for brushing teeth referred to as “The Bass Method.” To this day, it is viewed by most dentists as the best method for effectively brushing teeth and optimal oral health.

How to: Brush gently at a 45-degree angle using a light circular motion, paying close attention to getting under the gumline. (This is known as the bass method)

A good video to learn this proven, simple technique can be found here (The video adds in a step to brush away from the gum line — this is called “The Modified Bass”.)
