But did anyone actually teach us how to brush properly?

Because brushing your teeth isn't just about putting toothpaste on a toothbrush and moving it around your mouth.

A few things actually matter:

🪥 1. Don't brush too aggressively.

Brushing harder doesn't mean you're cleaning better. Gentle pressure is enough.

🪥 2. Pay attention to the gumline.

Place your toothbrush at a slight angle towards where your teeth and gums meet and use gentle, small movements.

🪥 3. Don't forget the different surfaces.

Clean the outside, inside and chewing surfaces of your teeth.

🪥 4. Give it enough time.

Aim to brush for about two minutes, twice a day.

🪥 5. Don't completely ignore your tongue.

Gently cleaning your tongue can help remove buildup and keep your mouth feeling fresher.

And one more thing: your toothbrush doesn't need to be attacked like you're scrubbing a stubborn pot. 

Gentle and thorough is the goal.

I've been using this toothbrush for this little 3-day series, and honestly, it made me pay more attention to something I usually do without thinking.

So, be honest: how were you taught to brush your teeth?

Side to side?

Up and down?

Circular movements?

Or nobody really taught you, 

you just figured it out yourself? 👀
