its kind of a mixture of up and down and side to side.

for about 2-3 minutes?

Answer 5

in a 45 degree angle towards your gums in a circular motion. back to front on the inside of your teeth and cheek side of your teeth and to reach the very last tooth, slightly close your mouth so your 'jaw bone' will move out of the way to get way back there. count to five be fore you move your tooth brush to the next area. also don't forget your tongue! and floss every tooth.

have fun!!!

Answer 6

Up and down and in little circles.  Make certain you get the entire tooth front and back and the gums and gum line.

Do so for at least 3 minutes.  Floss, scrape tongue of plaque.

Do this 3 times a day and after every meal.

Don't eat lots of starchy sugar sweets as these are the worst for decay.

Answer 7

It's not necessarily HOW you do it, but how thoroughly you do it and that you do it long enough.

2-3 minutes, being sure to clean each tooth and all surfaces.  Dont forget your tongue!  And FLOSS!

Answer 9

with a toothbrush the best way is to brush up and down to get the plaque and debris off your teeth. going from side to side just moves the stuff to the side or to the next tooth. if you dont use a toothbrush then an electric brush that goes in circles will be good as well cuz it will lift the debris from the teeth and will be gone once you rinse. DONT FORGET TO FLOSS!!!
