The direction of the toothbrush movement should be vertical, as if sweeping, from the gum to the cutting edge of the tooth.
Why not horizontal or circular?
Horizontal and circular movements contribute to the accumulation of plaque in the interdental spaces.
Let's brush our teeth
1. Take a toothbrush, rinse well with running water, then add toothpaste in the size of a pea.
2. Place the toothbrush on the upper edge of the upper jaw teeth at an angle of 45 degrees.
3. Start making vertical movements, in this case, from top to bottom. 3-4 movements around each tooth. Start from the back teeth, gradually sway to the front teeth.
4. Do the same for the inside of the upper jaw teeth. As soon as we reach the canines, we change the brush vertically, making the same sweeping movements.
5. Brush the teeth chewing surface by making horizontal movements: back and forth movements are allowed.
6. Go to the lower dentition. Similarly, make the same movements with a toothbrush at an angle of 45 degrees, only in this case, from the bottom up. Wash back and forth.
7. Do the same for the inside of the lower jaw teeth. Reaching the canines in the same way, give the toothbrush a vertical position.
8. At the end, wash the tongue because many microorganisms pile on the surface of the tongue. Move from the root of the tongue to the tip of the tongue.
It would be best if you brushed your teeth every morning and evening.
Brush your teeth for at least 3 minutes.
It is crucial to replace the toothbrush with a new one every two months.
