Brushing Your Teeth
It is recommended that we should be brushing our teeth at lease twice per day. Teeth brushing should be done in the morning, and again at night for at least two minutes each time.
Brushing your teeth at night should be the last thing you do before bed, with no food or drink after brushing. So be sure that you have eaten all of your dinner, before brushing your teeth.

How should I brush my teeth?
Tilt your toothbrush to a 45-degree angle so that you brush your gums as well. Brush your teeth gently in circles and make sure you brush the inside, outside and the chewing surfaces of your teeth. Spit out the toothpaste, don’t swallow it and avoid rinsing — this gives the fluoride more time to strengthen your teeth. Ideally, wait around 30 minutes after eating and drinking to brush your teeth.
If you or your family have trouble using a manual toothbrush, you may consider purchasing an electronic toothbrush.
Otherwise if you are unsure of which type of brush will be best suited, your dentist can help you at your next appointment.
