How to Brush Your Teeth: How It Works, Explained Simply

Video Transcript

Good brushing removes plaque without harming the gums. Hold the brush at a gentle angle toward the gumline. Use small circles or short back-and-forth strokes. Brush the outer, inner, and chewing surfaces of every tooth. Let the bristles do the work; hard scrubbing can harm the gums. Brushing about two minutes, twice a day, keeps teeth clean. The result is cleaner teeth and a healthier gumline. This video is for general education only. It is not medical or dental advice. Ask your dentist what's right for you.
