How To Brush:

Proper brushing is essential for cleaning teeth and gums effectively. Use a toothbrush with soft, nylon, round-ended bristles that will not scratch and irritate teeth or damage gums.

Place bristles along the gum line at a 45 degree angle. Bristles should contact both the tooth surface and the gum line.

Gently brush the outer tooth surfaces of 2-3 teeth using a vibrating back and forth rolling motion. Move brush to the next group of 2-3 teeth and repeat.

Maintain a 45 degree angle with bristles contacting the tooth surface and gum line. Gently brush using back, forth and rolling motion along all of the inner tooth surfaces.

Tilt brush vertically behind the front teeth. Make several up and down strokes using the front half of the brush.

Place the brush against the biting surface of the teeth and use a gentle back and forth scrubbing motion. Brush the tongue from back to front to remove odour-producing bacteria.
