Brushing your teeth is an important part of your dental care routine. For a healthy mouth and smile, you must: 1. Brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled brush. The size and shape of your brush should fit your mouth allowing you to reach all areas easily. 2. Replace your toothbrush every three months or sooner if the bristles are frayed. A worn toothbrush won?t do a good job of cleaning your teeth. 3. Make sure to use a fluoride containing toothpaste. The proper brushing technique is to: 1. Place your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to the gums. 2. Gently move the brush back and forth in short (tooth-wide) strokes. 3. Brush the outer surfaces, the inner surfaces, and the chewing surfaces of the teeth. 4. To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the brush vertically and make several up-and-down strokes. To massage your gums (5-8 mins): Wet your finger with a routinely used toothpaste or a gum paint like Stolin, Bali or HiOra-GA and place it on your gum line. Gently massage your gums with your finger using small circular motions. You can also apply the substance to your gums using a soft toothbrush. Apply two or three times a week. Good Luck!

Brushing should be done in up and down motion, gum massage is not necessary.

Step 1: Start with outer and inner surfaces, and brush at a 45-degree angle in short, half-tooth-wide strokes against the gum line. Make sure you reach your back teeth.
Step 2: Move on to chewing surfaces. Hold the brush flat and brush back and forth along these surfaces.
Step 3: Once you get to the inside surfaces of your front teeth, tilt the brush vertically and use gentle, up-and-down strokes with the tip of brush.
Step 4: Be sure to brush gently along the gum line.
Step 5: Brush your tongue in a back-to-front sweeping motion to remove food particles and help remove odor-causing bacteria to freshen your breath.
Time :2 mins.

You can follow modified bass technique .that is most followed technique for brushing. You can have brief on it going online. For gum massage clean your hands first or you can take sterile cotton piece. Apply adequate amount of gum paint and massage over your gums in circular fashion. Do not eat/rinse anything atleast for 10-12 mins after that you can rinse it with water. You can use gum paint twice a day or as prescribed by your dentist.

Anterior tooth brushing should done by circular motion. And posterior tooth by strait motion. Inner and outer all sides of tooth should be clean by brush. Soft or ultra soft brush should be use. Avoid pressure application while brushing. Teeth should be brush applying gentle pressure. 3 to 4 minute time is good for brushing.
