• Brushing for Oral Health Tips

Brushing for Oral Health Tips

  • Brush your teeth at least twice a day and ideally after every meal, using fluoride-containing toothpaste.

  • Use a soft-bristled toothbrush -- it's gentler on your gums.

  • To brush properly, hold your toothbrush at a slight angle against your teeth and use short back-and-forth motions.

  • Brush the inside and chewing surfaces of your teeth.

  • Brush your teeth for about two minutes each time you brush.

  • Brush your tongue.

  • Avoid vigorous or harsh scrubbing, which can irritate your gums.

  • Replace your toothbrush every three or four months, or sooner if it becomes frayed.

  • Consider using an electric toothbrush, especially if you have arthritis or other problems that make it difficult to brush well.
