Cleaning teeth
Teeth are cleaned manually using a toothbrush, by following the following steps: [1]
- Put an appropriate amount of toothpaste on the head of the toothbrush.
- Put the brush on the teeth at an angle of forty-five degrees with the gum line.
- Moving the brush in a small circular motion continuously over each tooth, taking into account maintaining the bristles of the toothbrush at the gum line, avoiding forceful pressure on the gums, and making sure that the bristles reach all the teeth and between the spaces between them.
- Cleaning the front and inner surfaces of the teeth facing the tongue in a small and continuous circular motion, then cleaning the inner surface of the lower and upper teeth by tilting the brush vertically, and moving it up and down in a small, continuous circular motion.
- Gently clean the tongue using the back of the brush, and make sure to continue cleaning the teeth for a period of two to three minutes, then rinse with water and rinse the mouth.
