The Proper Way to Brush Your Teeth

Publicitate

Brushing your teeth effectively removes plaque and bacteria, preventing cavities and gum disease. Follow these steps for proper technique:

1. Outer Surfaces: Brush the outer sides of both upper and lower teeth carefully.
2. Gumline: Angle your brush at 45° to remove plaque near the gums with gentle back-and-forth strokes.
3. Inner Surfaces: Clean the less visible inner surfaces with the same 45° angle.
4. Chewing Surfaces: Use short strokes to brush the tops of your back teeth.
5. Tongue: Brush your tongue to eliminate bacteria for fresher breath.

For effective oral hygiene, brush twice a day for two minutes with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Remember to replace your brush every three to four months.
