You brush your teeth so often you probably don't give it much thought. Take a moment to review some basic information and maintain a healthy mouth.
Choose your weapon
Select a brush with soft bristles that fits your mouth and is comfortable to hold.
Perfect your technique
Hold your brush at a 45-degree angle to your gums. Use short strokes and an up-and-down motion.
Add another rep
Brushing two times a day is great, but three times is ideal.
Watch the clock. Or TV.
It's best to spend two minutes brushing. A favorite show can help pass the time.
Surprise your mouth
Switch up your brushing pattern to keep from neglecting the same areas.
Keep it fresh
Replace your brush every 3 to 4 months.
