Using a soft-bristle toothbrush, brush the front, back, and top of each tooth.
When brushing your teeth, it’s important to be gentle and avoid scrubbing them vigorously. Gently brush up and down in short strokes, allowing the brush to also stimulate your gums. While you can use back and forth strokes during brushing, it is most effective to use up and down motions for thorough cleaning between the teeth and on the front and back surfaces.
If you’re using a powered toothbrush, follow the instructions that came with it, but remember to touch the front, back and top of each tooth, and make sure you brush for at least 2 minutes.
