Oral Hygiene

Proper Brushing Technique



Tilt the brush at a 45° angle against the gumline and sweep or roll the brush away from the gumline.




Gently brush the outside, inside and chewing surface of each tooth using short back-and-forth strokes.




Gently brush your tongue to remove bacteria and freshen breath.


Proper Flossing Technique



Use about 18" of floss, leaving an inch or two to work with.




Gently follow the curves of your teeth.




Be sure to clean beneath the gumline, but avoid snapping the floss on the gums.
