I can't believe I'm asking this, but what is the correct way to brush your teeth?

Question

Is it up and down, in circles, etc? For how long?

Answer 1

think everyone agrees its in circles----i have an electric tooth bruse and it is really great---runs the brush across your teeth much much fasster

Answer 2

I brush slowly and softly in circles for about two minutes, but I mix Sensodyne, Act, and Colgate together.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

in circles for 2 minutes.

Answer 6

soft, circular motion, for 2-3 minutes.

Answer 7

*Brush 2-3 Teeth at a time for about 10 seconds each set.

*Brush fast-not slow (the best toothbrushes are the electric-b/c they are more efficient & faster than human)

*Every angle side-front/ back/sides.

*Brush in all directions like you said (if not using an electric brush).

*You may need to move your mouth & jaw for best reach!

*Brush for about 2-3 minutes!

Good Luck & Don't forget to Floss! :)

PS- electric toothbrush means an $80-140 brush, not the $5 battery ones
