What is the proper way to brush my teeth?

The following guidelines are important to brushing correctly. 

1.Firstly, make sure to use a soft bristled brush. Hard bristled brushes can wear down the enamel of your teeth.  

2. Place your brush at a 45 degree angle to your gumline. Bristles should contact both the tooth surface and the gumline.

3. Use short back and forth strokes or tiny circular movements to brush your teeth. Each movement should be no bigger than the size of each tooth. 

4. Make sure to use gentle strokes while brushing. Gentle strokes are effective in removing plaque, while too much pressure can wear down the enamel of your teeth. 

5. Brush all surfaces of each tooth, including the outer, inner, and the chewing surfaces of the teeth. 

6. Finally, don't cut your brushing short! Make sure to brush for at least 2 minutes.
