What is the proper way to brush my teeth ?

Place the bristles at a 45 degree angle to the gum line, and slide the tips of the brush under the gums. Gently jiggle the bristles or move it in small circles over the tooth and gums. Brush the outside, the inside, and the chewing surfaces of your teeth. For chewing surfaces, use a light back and forth motion. For the front teeth, brush the inside surfaces of the upper and lower jaws: Tilt your brush vertically and make several strokes up and down with the front part of the brush over the teeth and gum tissues. Brushing your tongue will help freshen your breath. Debris and bacteria can collect on your tongue and the roof of your moth, causing bad breath. Since your toothbrush will only clean one or two teeth at a time, change its position to clean each tooth properly. Brush at least once every day, preferably at bedtime. Adding a brush time after breakfast increases your chances of thorough daily plaque removal. Take your time: A thorough brushing should take at least 3 minutes.
