Use the tips of the brush to clean
the inner surfaces of the front
teeth. |
Using a scrubbing motion, clean the
chewing surfaces. Also brush your
tongue gently or rinse well with
water. |

Replace your brush when the bristles
begin to spread. A worn out
toothbrush will not properly clean
your teeth.
Is it important to brush before
going to bed?
Yes. If you have to miss a brushing,
the bedtime one is probably the
worst one to miss. If you don't get
rid of the bacteria and sugar that
cause cavities, they have all night
to do harm. While you are awake,
saliva helps keep the mouth clean.
When you are asleep, there is less
saliva produced to clean the mouth.
For this reason it is important to
brush before bedtime |
