Dental hygiene system handle

A method of brushing the teeth by a user comprising:

• providing a dental hygiene system handle including a proximal grip section, a central control section, and a distal brush section having brush bristles, with the central control section including four elastomeric lands for receiving the thumb and forefinger of the user on opposite sides of the central control section;
• gripping the handle in the user's hand with the user's three lower fingers curled around and holding the ellipsoidal proximal grip section and the central control section held between the forefinger and the thumb;
• moving the handle to position the brush bristles along the gum line in one quadrant of the mouth, at approximately a 45° angle, with at least one row of bristles nestled below the gum line, and gently moving the handle back and forth so that bristles in the user's gingival sulcus loosen and remove plaque present there while the rest of the bristles brush and massage the exposed surface of the gum and clean the exposed tooth surfaces;
• and
• when it is desired to move to another quadrant, lifting the brush bristles away and rotating the brush handle 90° or 180° along its longitudinal axis to properly position the bristles at a new location at approximately a 45° angle, with at least one row of bristles nestled below the gum line at the new location.
