Back to basics: brushing your teeth properly

An effective tooth-brushing technique is the foundation of a healthy dental care routine.
Key takeaways:
- Use a soft-bristled brush and fluoride toothpaste to brush your teeth.
- Take 2 minutes total to brush, ensuring every part of the tooth is cleaned.
- Don't brush too hard or you could damage your enamel.
- Remember to brush your tongue, floss regularly and use interdental brushes.
- Your dentist will be happy to demonstrate the most effective brushing technique and answer any questions you may have.
