Proper Teeth Brushing Procedures

Step 1

Point the bristles toward the gumline, in a 45-degree angle and then start with the upper back teeth concentrating on the front surface of the tooth. The average toothbrush head will cover 3 teeth at a time. And clean below the gumline slightly.

  Step 2

   Repeat the first step and clean the inside surface softly.

Step 3

Brush the biting surface of the upper and lower premolars and molars slightly.

Step 4

Brush the back surface of the upper-front teeth, using the tip of the toothbrush head. Direct the bristles toward the gumline, and use a flicking motion down the surface of the tooth. Then, point the bristles of the tip of the toothbrush toward the gumline. Flick the bristles up, away from the gumline.
