Place the toothbrush at a 45-degree Angle and gently brush the upper and lower front teeth, always clean to the back teeth. Place the toothbrush flat on top of the bite surface of the teeth. Tilt the brush to the vertical position and clean the inner surface of the top and bottom front teeth. Rinse three times with water.
There are 18 inches of floss in your middle finger and a soft floss between the teeth. Floss should be along the surface of the tooth, down to the root of the gum root, and then back to the tip of the tooth. Use a new area for each tooth area. This is the most important step in plaque removal.
Remove the tooth knife and lay a flat edge on the surface of the tooth. Start with the gum line and then pull to the top of the tooth. Cover all surfaces.
Target the area between the teeth with your teeth, removing any hard food particles. Place the root between the root and then pull up to the top of the tooth.
Occasionally, use baking soda and salt on your toothbrush. Get a little damp and then brush your teeth from the front with a 45-degree Angle. Baking soda is a natural buffer to freshen your breath, but can remove plaque. Salt, as a natural alkaline buffer, can resist the acid of the plaque.
Rinse your mouth after each meal if you don't have a toothbrush or mouthwash. Chewing sugarless gum can also prevent plaque buildup.
