Basics
Brush twice a day with toothpaste to help prevent tooth decay. Since there are various techniques for brushing your teeth, it is a good idea to ask your dentist which one to use. Here are a few tips to help you develop a good routine:
 |
Place the toothbrush at a slight angle toward the gums when brushing along the
gumline. |
 |
Use a gentle touch. It
doesn't take much pressure to remove the plaque from
your teeth, and vigorous scrubbing could irritate your
gums. |
 |
Clean all the surfaces of the teeth - the inner (tongue side) tooth surface. |
 |
The
chewing surfaces… |
 |
And the inside of the front teeth. |
 |
Gently
brush your tongue - including the back - to help remove
bacteria that cause bad breath. |
