Brushing your teeth properly is essential for good oral hygiene.
Here is a complete guide for the following readers on how to brush your teeth properly:
1) Choosing the Right Toothbrush: Use a toothbrush with soft bristles. A brush with hard bristles can damage the protective layer of enamel on your gums and teeth over time.
2) Hold the brush correctly: Hold the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to your gums. This allows for easy cleaning of both your teeth and gums.
3) Relaxed and Circular Motions: Use the brush in a relaxed and circular motion. Avoid rubbing too hard as this can irritate your gums and damage your enamel.
4) Brush all teeth: Make sure to brush all surfaces of your teeth
5) Two-minute time: Brush for at least two minutes to make sure you’re thoroughly cleaning all areas.
6) Tongue cleaning: Also brush your tongue to remove bacteria on your tongue or to freshen your breath.
7) Post-brushing: Rinse with water or mouthwash after brushing to remove any remaining toothpaste or other particles that may have been left behind. Then, rinse your toothbrush thoroughly and set it upright to air dry.
