How to Brush Your Teeth

1. Be sure to use a regular or power toothbrush with soft bristles.
2. Use a pea-size amount of toothpaste with fluoride, or just plain water.
3. Brush the front, back, and top of each tooth. Gently brush back and forth in short strokes.
4. Gently brush the tongue after you brush the teeth.
5. Rinse your mouth with plain water.

Get a new toothbrush with soft bristles every 3 months, after a contagious illness, or when the bristles are worn.

How to Floss Your Teeth

1. Use a string of floss 18 inches long. Wrap that piece around the middle finger of each hand.
2. Grip the floss between the thumb and index finger of each hand.
3. Start with the lower front teeth, then floss the upper front teeth. Next, work your way around to all the other teeth.
4. Work the floss gently between the teeth until it reaches the gumline. Curve the floss around each tooth and slip it under the gum. Slide the floss up and down. Do this for both sides of every tooth, one side at a time.
5. Adjust the floss a little as you move from tooth to tooth so the floss is clean for each one.

Flossing is a tough job that takes a lot of practice. Waxed, unwaxed, flavored, or plain floss all do the same thing.

If you have trouble flossing, try using a floss holder instead of holding the floss with your fingers.
