How to Brush Your Teeth Correctly

Are you convinced that your oral care routine is up to par, but you still notice a little pink in the sink? Perhaps it’s because you aren’t brushing enough, or you aren’t brushing correctly. Most of us might be surprised to learn that there is a proper way of brushing our teeth. At Evans Dental Care, we would like to tell you what it is so that you can maintain a healthy mouth.



  • Place your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle at the gum line.

  • Gently move the brush in a circular motion.

  • Brush the outer surfaces and the inner surfaces, one tooth at a time (not one area at a time).

  • Brush the chewing surfaces in a back and forth motion.

  • Brush your tongue to remove bacteria and keep your breath fresh.


Remember that brushing your teeth isn’t the only part of a complete dental routine. Don’t forget to floss or WaterPik daily and visit us regularly for professional cleanings and oral exams.


If you have questions or concerns regarding preventive dental care, please give us a call. To learn about services we provide at our practice, visit www.evansdentalcare.com for more information. To schedule an appointment at Evans Dental Care in Williamsburg, VA, call 757-349-8877.
