Before adding toothpaste, brush with a clean, dry toothbrush for 30 seconds.This breaks apart the sticky biofilm layer and allows fluoride to reach the enamel more effectively.
Biofilm is the barrier that blocks toothpaste from working. Clearing it first boosts effectiveness.
Apply a pea-sized amount of toothpaste and use soft, circular motions.Angle your brush 45 degrees toward the gumline — this is where plaque accumulates the most.
Hard scrubbing, sawing motions, or brushing aggressively. That leads to sensitivity and gum recession.
Skip rinsing with water. Let fluoride and the active ingredients stay on your teeth for at least 30 minutes after brushing.

Divide your mouth into four quadrants and spend about 30 seconds on each one, making sure to cover the outer surfaces, inner surfaces, and chewing surfaces for a total of two minutes.
Brushing for the full two minutes ensures all tooth surfaces are properly cleaned.
Flossing removes plaque and food particles from between the teeth where your toothbrush can’t reach. Gently guide the floss between each tooth, curve it into a “C” shape, and clean along the sides to reach just under the gumline.
Flossing cleans the tight spaces that make up nearly forty percent of your tooth surfaces, preventing cavities and gum inflammation.
