How to brush your Teeth to Avoid Teeth Decay

* Use a soft-bristled toothbrush that allows you to reach every surface. Replace it if the bristles are bent or frayed, about every 2 to 3 months.
* Spend at least two minutes brushing your teeth. Use Twooth® Timer to make it simple and fun!
* Position the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle where your gums and teeth meet. Gently move the brush in a vibrating back & forth motion, brushing 2-3 teeth at a time.
* Maintain the 45-degree angle to gently brush along all of the inner tooth surfaces using a back, forth, and rolling motion.
* To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, hold the brush vertically. Make several gentle back-and-forth strokes over each tooth and its surrounding gum.
* Use a gentle back and forth scrubbing motion to clean the biting surface of the teeth. Don't forget to brush the tongue from back to front to remove odor-producing bacteria.
