The correct way of brushing the teeth

Steps:

1. Position the brush:

Hold the brush at a 45-degree angle to your gums, with the bristles slightly below the gumline.

2. Brush the outer surfaces:

Use short, circular strokes to brush the outer surfaces of your teeth.

3. Brush the inner surfaces:

Use short, circular strokes to brush the inner surfaces of your teeth.
Tip: to brush the inner surface of front teeth, tilt the toothbrush vertically and sweep away from the gums using up and down motion.

4. Brush the chewing surfaces:

Use short, back-and-forth strokes to brush the tops of your back teeth.
