When it comes to teeth cleaning with a manual toothbrush, wet the toothbrush, then use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste. Hold your brush at a 45° angle and work your way around both your top and bottom teeth, from one side to the other. Don’t forget to brush the inside surfaces of your teeth and also your tongue!

In the debate of manual brush vs electric toothbrush, there is no clear winner. It mostly comes down to your brushing technique and how thorough your oral hygiene routine is. Brush your teeth for 2 minutes, twice a day and be sure to floss in the evening to clean between your teeth.

Everyone should use a medium to soft bristled toothbrush. If you have gum recession or signs of enamel loss, consider swapping your medium toothbrush for one with extra-soft bristles.
