Explanation

Brushing teeth away from the gum protects gum health. Start at the gum line and brush down towards the tooth edge. This removes food particles without hurting the gums.

Brushing toward the gum can push bacteria under the gum line. This causes inflammation and bleeding. Brushing away from gums keeps them healthy and pink.

Proper brushing technique prevents cavities and gum disease. Brush twice daily for two minutes each time for the best oral health.
