How to brush your teeth
Daily brushing and cleaning your teeth is important because it removes plaque. If the plaque isn’t removed, it builds up and can cause tooth decay and gum disease. You should brush your teeth at least twice a day and toothbrushes should be replaced every 3-4 months, or when the bristles get worn or frayed.
1.Aim the toothbrush at a 45 degree angle towards the gum line.
Use a light back and forth motion on the chewing surfaces. You do not need to rinse, as the small amount of fluoridated toothpaste left in your mouth after spitting continues to protect against tooth decay.
2.Use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste.
For children less than two years old, use just a tiny smear of toothpaste. After two years old, you can increase to a pea-sized amount. In addition, make sure to brush twice daily for at least two minutes and floss at least once daily. A small pea-sized amount of toothpaste is sufficient for adults.
3.Use a gentle circular motion.
After brushing all teeth, brushing the tongue can help remove germs and improve your breath. It's also best to use a soft-bristled toothbrush to prevent premature wear of your teeth. Brush your teeth in small circles, two teeth at a time, at a 45 degree angle to the tooth enamel.
Repeat on the inside surfaces.
4.Electric toothbrushes also do a good job of cleaning teeth.
sonic toothbrushes work just like ordinary ones: they move back and forth over the surface of your teeth at high speed, scrubbing away the plaque. ... Tiny bubbles form in the space between the toothbrush and the teeth, and these help to shift more plaque than brushing alone
