How to brush your teeth

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.

 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.

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.
