1. Apply a thin strip of toothpaste on your premoistened toothbrush.
2. Start with the upper left molars (back teeth) concentrating on the front surface of the tooth; you will be working in a clockwise direction from there. The average toothbrush head will cover 2 to 3 teeth at a time.
3. Hold the toothbrush parallel to your teeth, and point the bristles in the direction of the tissue, so they are resting slightly below the gumline. Apply slight pressure to the bristles, so they are slightly bent.
4. Gently move the brush in a circular motion for approximately 20 brush strokes, or roughly 10 seconds.
5. When brush strokes are complete, roll the bristles away from the gum tissue in a sweeping motion.
6. Continue the above steps until all of the front surfaces of the top and bottom teeth have been cleaned.
