what are the types of tooth brushing?
Q. What is the best manual brushing technique?
A. These points are good practice when brushing your teeth:
1. Hold your brush at a 45 degree angle. The brush should touch the gumline and the tooth
2. brush in small circular motions- concentrating on one tooth at a time
3. Repeat the same process on the inner surface of the teeth
4. tilt the brush vertically behing the front teeth- uppers and lowers
5. Brush the biting surface of the teeth aswell.
6. Use a medium toothbrush- one that isn’t so hard as it may cause damage to the gums
7. use a brush that isn’t too big- as the bristles need to reach in lots of small spaces.

Your hygienist will teach you this if you are unsure- and always remeber to floss or use inter-dental brushes.
