The surfaces that are between teeth are not accessible to brush therefore best way to clean them is flossing. The frequency of flossing is like brushing and ideally after each meal, but one time a day (before going to bed) is minimum necessary.

The first step is to choose a good toothbrush. You always want to use a soft brush with a small head. A soft brush is hard enough to remove plaque and soft enough, not to damage your teeth or gum.

The next issue is to choose a good toothpaste. In general any toothpaste that contains Fluoride will do job, unless you have a special need that is determined by your dentist. Two of best brands of tooth pastes are Colgate Total and Crest Multicare.

The first rule of brushing is to start from a specific location and work your way to opposite side and all way through whole mouth somehow that you end where you started. This way you won’t miss any area. Also usually a pea size of tooth paste is enough. A good brushing should at lease take 2 minutes and ideally around 4 minutes.
