I have decided to put together in some pictures that would make it easier for you to understand a recommended 6 step guide to brushing your teeth correctly. There is everything to benefit from keeping your teeth clean. While avoiding diseases may be of primary concern to us, it also makes us more attractive and confident with a brighter smile.
Gum disease which is also known as gingivitis has been linked with other health issues including heart problems, kidney disease, diabetes and certain types of cancer.
This guide is based on an infographic created by Denplan showing the best technique for tooth brushing. In this guide, the tongue was not left out as it can harbour bacteria.
STEP 1 : Place the head of your toothbrush against your teeth, then tilt the bristle tips to a 45 degree angle against the gum line. Move the brush in small circular movements, several times, on all the surfaces of every tooth.
STEP 2: Brush the outer surfaces of each tooth, upper and lower, keeping the bristles angled against the gum line
STEP 3: Use the same method on the inside surfaces of all your teeth
STEP 4: Brush the biting surfaces of the teeth
STEP 5: To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the brush vertically and make several small vertical strokes with the front part of the brush
STEP 6: Brushing your tongue will help freshen your breath and will clean your mouth by removing bacteria
