BASIC BRUSHING

There are a few different methods considered acceptable when brushing your teeth. Whatever method you use, take the time to brush thoroughly with a recommended toothpaste every day. We recommend the following method to help maintain for dental health and easily getting rid of plaque:

1. Place the head of your toothbrush beside your teeth, with the brush tips at a 45O angle against your gum.

2. Move the brush back and forth in short, semi-circle strokes several times, using a gentle 'scrubbing' movement.

3. Brush the outer surfaces of each tooth, top and bottom, keeping the bristles angled against your gum.

4. Use the same method on the inside surfaces of all the teeth, still using short back and forth strokes.

5. It is important to brush the chewing surfaces of the teeth and they will be constantly in contact with everything you put in to your mouth.

6. You must also clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth by tilting the brush vertically and make several gentle up and down strokes with the front part of the brush.

7. You should not forget your tongue, brushing it will help freshen your breath and clean your mouth by removing bacteria.
