Tooth Tips
Brushing:
- Always move your toothbrush in a short, gentle, circular motion.
- Hold your toothbrush at a 45 degree angle when brushing. Try to get the bristle tips directly under the gumline.
- Pay attention to detail. Always try to brush the outer, inner and chewing surfaces of your teeth.
- Brush your tongue. This removes bacteria and freshens your breath.
Flossing:
- Use around 18 inches of floss. Wind most of it around the middle finger on both hands.
- Use a gentle sawing motion when sliding the floss between your teeth.
- Move the floss in an up and down motion while holding it against the tooth.
- Always remember to floss the backside or your tooth.
