How to Brush Your Teeth Properly
Brush twice a day for two minutes with a fluoride toothpaste. Use a soft brush and small, gentle circles, angling the bristles toward the gum line.
Clean between your teeth once a day with floss or interdental brushes, because a toothbrush cannot reach those surfaces. Spit out toothpaste after brushing rather than rinsing with lots of water.
Replace your brush about every three months, or sooner if the bristles are bent. If your gums bleed or your teeth are sensitive, mention it at your next check-up.
