Steps for Proper Tooth Brushing
Disease description:
Mom told me to brush my teeth properly to prevent oral diseases. What are the correct steps for brushing teeth?

Steps for Proper Tooth Brushing:
1. Choose a toothbrush and toothpaste suitable for your oral condition and tooth type. When brushing, place the head of the toothbrush at the junction of the teeth and gums, angling it gently at 45 degrees.
2. Use short, back-and-forth vibrating strokes with the toothbrush, moving across no more than 2–3 teeth at a time, ensuring thorough cleaning of both the inner and outer surfaces of each tooth.
3. Brush the chewing surfaces of the teeth vertically, and don't forget to gently clean the tongue surface. Brushing should last about two minutes, twice daily—morning and evening.
4. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with water to ensure no toothpaste residue remains.
Following these steps can effectively remove food debris and bacteria from the mouth, helping maintain healthy teeth and gums.
