If you want to have healthy teeth and gums, you need to learn how to brush your teeth properly. Brushing your teeth correctly will help you minimize the risk of gum problems and tooth decay, which eventually might lead to tooth lost.
When you brush your teeth with a manual toothbrush, ask a dental professional for the best toothbrushes on the market. Use fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristle toothbrush, which you’ll replace every 3 months.

How to Brush Your Teeth Properly
1. Start with inner and outer surfaces. Brush at a 45 degree angle using short strokes against the gum line. Make sure you brush your back teeth.
2. Brush your chewing surfaces. You need to hold your brush flat and brush back and forth along the chewing surfaces.
3. Once you brush the inside surfaces of your front teeth, tilt the brush vertically and use gentle up and down strokes with the tip of your brush.
4. Gently brush your teeth along your gum line.
5. Finish by brushing your tongue back to front sweeping motions to remove any food particles and bacteria from it.
