How should I brush?

Brushing removes plaque and bits of food from the inner, outer and biting surfaces of your teeth.


Here is one way to remove plaque – discuss with your dental team which is the best for you:


Place the head of your toothbrush against your teeth, then tilt the bristle tips to a 45-degree angle against your gumline. Move the brush in small circular movements, several times, on all the surfaces of every tooth.


Brush the outer surface of each tooth, upper and lower, keeping the bristles angled against your gumline. 


Do this again, but on the inside surfaces of all your teeth.


To clean the inside surfaces of your front teeth, tilt the brush vertically and make several small, circular strokes with the front part of the brush.


Brush the biting surfaces of your teeth. 


Brush your tongue to help freshen your breath and clean your mouth by removing bacteria.


How often should I brush my teeth?

Be sure to brush thoroughly with a fluoride toothpaste last thing at night and at least one other time during the day. If you regularly keep getting discomfort or bleeding after brushing you should see your dentist.
