This module will explain how to brush your teeth. This will only take a few minutes each
day but will help your teeth and gums healthy. Brushing helps to remove the plaque that forms
on your teeth every day. If the plaque is not removed it forms acid, this causes teeth
to decay and gums to become infected. When brushing your teeth it is good idea to use
a brush with soft bristles, which is gentle on your gums. First brush the chewing surface
of your teeth with back and forth motion to remove food particles. Next gently brush your
teeth in a circular motion with the bristles at 45- degree angle towards the gum. Do the
same on the inner surfaces of upper teeth. Then repeat the same steps on your lower teeth
after brushing, rinse your mouth and check to see if you missed any places. Remember
to take time to brush and floss properly every day to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
