Procedures for Brushing Teeth
1. Brush at least twice daily, morning and evening.
2. Your toothbrush should be soft, rounded-end bristles with
a head that is small enough to cover all parts of your teeth and mouth.
3. Replace your toothbrush every 3 to 4 months.
4. You can use an electric toothbrush that has approval seal from
American Dental Association (ADA).
As per the study, powered toothbrushes with a rotating and oscillating
(back-and-forth) action are more effective than other toothbrushes.
5. The brush should be at 45 degrees’ angle wherein it meets
the gums then, press firmly and use small circular movements to softly brush
the teeth back and forth. Don’t hardly scrub the teeth because it can make the
gums pull away from the teeth and can scratch your tooth enamel.
6. Brush all side of the teeth especially to the front teeth
and all surfaces of the back teeth.
7. Brush chewing parts repeatedly with short back-and-forth
strokes.

be about 2 in. (5 cm) to 3 in. (8 cm) apart.
2. Circle procedure
Use a
piece of floss about 12 in. (30 cm) long. Form a loop by tying the ends
