How to Brush & Floss
Properly

Brush twice a day for two minutes with a fluoride toothpaste, using small, gentle circles and angling the brush toward the gum line. A soft brush is kinder to your gums, and brushing too hard can actually cause harm — technique matters more than force.

Cleaning between your teeth once a day with floss or interdental brushes reaches the surfaces a toothbrush can't — where decay and gum disease often start. Pair good home care with regular check-ups and cleanings and you'll prevent most problems.
