To effectively clean teeth when suffering from periodontitis, it is essential to brush for an adequate amount of time. It is recommended to use the vibrating rapid brushing technique, applying slightly greater pressure to thoroughly remove stains and debris from the tooth surfaces. Additionally, for areas between teeth that are difficult to reach with a toothbrush, patients should use dental floss to ensure thorough cleaning.
