Daily brushing and cleaning between your teeth is important because it removes plaque. If the plaque isn't removed, it continues to build up, feeding on the food debris left behind and causing tooth decay and gum disease.

We recommend a small to medium size brush with soft to medium multi-tufted, round-ended nylon bristles or 'filaments'. The head should be small enough to get into all parts of the mouth: especially the back of the mouth where cleaning can be difficult. 

 

·        Place the head of your toothbrush against your teeth and angle 45 degrees against the gumline. Move the brush in small circular movements, several times, on all the surfaces of each individual tooth.

·        Brush the outer surfaces of each tooth, upper and lower, keeping the bristles angled at 45 degrees against the gumline.

·        Use the same method on the inside surfaces of all your teeth.

·        Brush the chewing surfaces of the teeth.

·        To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the brush vertically and make several small circular strokes with the toe (the front part) of the brush.
