Proper
BRUSHING TECHNIQUE
1.Wet your toothbrush with a small amount of water and add a pea-sized amount of toothpaste.
2.Insert the brush into your mouth at a 45-degree angle to your gums and use gentle, short circular strokes to brush your front teeth.
3.Brush the outside surfaces of your teeth, making sure to get the back molars and upper areas of your chewing surfaces.
4.Flip the toothbrush upside down to get the inside surface of your front teeth. Flip it back around to get the inside surface of your bottom front teeth.
5.Brush your tongue to get rid of any bacteria buildup or plaque.
6.Spit out the remnants of the toothpaste and rinse your
mouth with cold water.
