Daily Pro Tips for Teeth Care

• Floss 1^st, Brush 2^nd

• Floss in a “C” shape around each tooth, ensuring to slide below the gumline

• Brush at a “45-degree” angle, to ensure bristles can clean under the gums

• Always brush in a set pattern (i.e. left to right, then top to bottom) to avoid missing spots in a hurry

• Run your tongue over teeth to ensure smoothness, if not plaque is still present and you should brush those areas again

• Don’t forget to brush your tongue to remove odor-causing bacteria
