Brushing is not enough, if you don't do it the right way. Learn the correct BRUSHING method...

CORRECT BRUSHING IS ESSENTIAL FOR GOOD ORAL HEALTH

Place your toothbrush next to the teeth so that it rests on the gums forming a 45-degree angle against the gums.

Move the toothbrush from the gums towards the edge of teeth to move the dental plaque away from the gum line.

	Move the brush back and forth gently in short (tooth wide) strokes.

After brushing, one by one tooth, all the outer teeth surfaces do the same for the inner surfaces.

Brush the chewing surfaces of the teeth with horizontal moves

		Brush your tongue to remove bacteria and freshen your breath.
		A correct brushing must have a duration of 2 to 3 minutes.
		After brushing use the dental floss to complete your dental hygiene .
