Tooth brushing

Common card · No. 261271

Tooth brushing is the act of cleaning (by sweeping as opposed to scrubbing) teeth in a motion with a toothbrush equipped with toothpaste. Interdental cleaning (with floss or an interdental brush) can be useful with tooth brushing, and together these two activities are the primary means of cleaning teeth, one of the main aspects of oral hygiene. The American Dental Association recommends brushing twice a day for two minutes each time.
