While brushing the inside surfaces of front teeth tilt the brush vertically and use gentle up and down strokes with toe of the brush. Flossing involves wrapping 18-inch strand around your middle fingers and holding a one-inch section tightly it is ease between teeth and cleans up and down several times while curving around the tooth at the gum line. It does not end here. To have perfect oral hygiene you also need to clean your tongue with your brush by moving it in a back-to-front sweeping motion to remove food particles and freshen the mouth.

Although brushing and flossing is an important part of a dental care but it is not enough to keep your teeth white and healthy and mouth free of bad smell. A visit to the dentist at least twice a year should be followed to ensure the killer smile that exists in commercials. A visit to a dentist will help you to get the full spectrum of dental care that involves diagnostic, preventive, and educational services specifically designed to help you keep the best possible smile.
