Proper Teeth Brushing

Proper brushing is the first step to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. It takes at least two minutes using a recommended technique to do a good job of brushing your teeth. Whether you are using a regular toothbrush or a power toothbrush, you should spend 30 seconds brushing each section of your mouth (upper right and left, lower right and left).

Step One:

For the outer tooth surfaces, place the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle toward the gumline

Use gentle, short strokes, moving the brush back and forth against the teeth and gums.

Step Two:

Use this same motion to clean the chewing and inner tooth surfaces.

Step Three:

To clean the inner front tooth surfaces, hold the brush upright and use gentle up-and-down strokes with the tip of the brush.

Step Four

Don’t forget to brush along the gumline, and make sure you reach the teeth right at the back

Also give your tongue a brushing - it’ll help keep your breath fresh!
