While brushing you should hold your brush 45-degree angle pointed towards your gums. Simultaneously, ensure you brush all the surfaces of your teeth including all the sides and the chewing surface.

Teeth flossing is removing food particles and plaque in places that a toothbrush cannot easily access, such as between your teeth and under your gum line. You should Floss your teeth at least once a day and ensure you floss teeth at the back of your mouth. 450-millimeter floss is recommended. To avoid damaging gums, you should follow the teeth's curve. There are two types of teeth floss. Nylon floss comes in various flavors and is available waxed and unwaxed.

RINSING WITH MOUTHWASH

It is advisable not to rinse your mouth with water after using mouthwash. The reason is that many types of mouthwash include fluoride, which can be washed away during rinsing. Instead, simply spit out the excess mouthwash and leave the fluoride to do its work.

Scrape or brush your tongue from the back of the tongue to the front. Do this repeatedly. Rinse your mouth.
