Tips for Brushing Teeth

• Brush at least twice a day. 
• If you can, brush after every meal.
• Use a soft toothbrush.
• Place the toothbrush against the teeth at a 45-degree angle to the gum line.
• Move the brush across the teeth using a small circular motion.
• Continue with this motion cleaning one tooth at a time.
• Keep the tips of the bristles against the gum line.
• Let the bristles reach into spaces between teeth.
• Brush across the top of the chewing surfaces of the teeth.
• Make sure the bristles get into the grooves and crevices.
• Use the same small circular motion to clean the back of the upper and lower teeth, the side that faces the tongue.
• To clean the inside of the bottom front teeth, angle the head in an up-and-down position toward the bottom inside of the mouth and move the toothbrush in a small circle.
• For the inside of the top front teeth, angle the brush in an up-and-down position with the tip of the head pointing towards the roof of the mouth. Move the toothbrush in a small circle.
• After brushing your teeth for two to three minutes, rinse your mouth with water.
• Replace your toothbrush with a new one every three to four months.
