What are some tips for brushing teeth properly?

By Dr. Holly Nadji August 15, 2019

Brush twice a day for two minutes each time with fluoride toothpaste to help prevent tooth decay. Fluoride (FLOOR-ide) is a mineral that helps make tooth enamel stronger. Here are a few tips to help you start a good routine:

1. Place the toothbrush against your gum line at a 45-degree angle. This angle makes sure that you are fully reaching the gum line as well as the tooth surface. Move the brush back and forth gently in short, tooth-wide strokes.

2. Brush the outer tooth surfaces, keeping the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to the gums.

3. Brush the inner tooth surfaces.

4. Brush the chewing surface.

5. Use the top part of the brush to clean the inside surface of the top and bottom front teeth. Use a gentle up-and-down motion.

6. Brush your tongue to remove bacteria which may help freshen your breath.
