How To Brush Your Teeth

Step One

Place your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to your gum.

Step Two

Brush gently in a circular motion.

Step Three

Brush the outer, inner, and chewing surfaces of each tooth.

Step Four

Use the tip of your brush for the inner surface of your front teeth.

Step One

Wind about 18 inches of floss around your fingers as shown. Most of it should be wrapped around one finger, and the other finger takes it up as the floss is used.

Step Two

Use your thumbs and forefingers to guide about one inch of floss between your teeth.

Step Three

Holding the floss tightly, gently saw it between your teeth. Then curve the floss into a C-shape against one tooth and gently slide it beneath your gums.

Step Four

Slide the floss up and down, repeating for each tooth.
