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.
