What is the proper way to brush your teeth? Up and down or side to side?

Answer 1

In a circular motion. You should also brush your tongue back and forth: no bad breath.

Answer 2

The right way is do is: for upper teeth start at the gum line and come down. Some thing with the bottom teeth. If you have braces make sure to brush between gums and the brackets. Always use a soft tooth brush and make sure you brush long enough. The studies show that you have to brush at least 2 minutes and on average when you time a person, they do it for less than 45 seconds. That is why I recommend my patients to use an Braun electrical tooth brush with a timer. If you are planning to buy an electrical tooth brush, by one with a time and a round head. Hope that helps.
