The best toothbrush cannot clean well if the technique is poor. Use this order each time, so every surface gets attention.
The order
1. Start with the outer surface of the upper teeth. 2. Move to the outer surface of the lower teeth. 3. Clean the inner surfaces, both upper and lower. 4. Brush the chewing surfaces with short, gentle strokes. 5. Finish by brushing the tongue lightly.
The angle
Hold the brush at about 45 degrees to the gums. Use small circular or short back-and-forth strokes. Avoid hard scrubbing, which can irritate the gums.
Powder and brush
Use a small amount of Tooth Powder on a soft brush. Too much powder does not clean better.
Time it
Use a timer or a song that lasts about two minutes.
