DO YOU THINK YOU BRUSH

YOUR TEETH THE RIGHT WAY?

GENTRY GONZALEZ

Think Again!

Here are the most common

mistakes that you might have

made:

NOT BRUSHING LONG

ENOUGH

Gentry Gonzalez and other dentists

agree that it is best to brush your teeth

between 2-3 minutes.

POOR TECHNIQUE

The Proper Technique1. Angle your brush at a 45 degree angle.

2. Brush your teeth with short strokes (vertical or circular) up

and down.

STARTING IN THE SAME

PLACE

Stop that habit!Start in different places so that the last portion of

your teeth will not suffer from your lazy technique.

SKIPPING INNER TOOTH

SURFACES

The area that is often overlooked.

See to it that each time you brush, spend equal time

on exterior, inner and tops of your teeth.

RINSE YOUR TOOTHBRUSH

AFTER

Keep the bacteria away!After brushing, flip the water on, rinse your brush for

a few seconds and leave it to dry until next use.
