in circles
If you ever seen an electrical toothbrush like an OralB Braun, you'll notice the brush-head will go in circular motions when you turn it on. This is so that both your teeth and gums can be brushed at the same time. Whenther manual or electric, position your toothbrush in between your gum and teeth and brush in light circles. The old method of brushing up and down works but it's little harder to work on. Of course, always use a soft-bristle toothbrush.
um like a soft touch and your suppossed to brush in circles
in and out ( repete)
circular motion
First, you should always use a soft bristled tooth brush. Next, you should brush up and down- not left to right. Finally, you should be able to brush your teeth like you are brushing your hair. Don't brush so hard you can feel pain, but don't brush so light you can't feel the bristles.
