Get Your Smile On: Brushing and Flossing 101

Can you demonstrate the proper way to brush and floss my teeth?

Answer

Ah, finally someone who wants to listen! Or do you? Either way, I'm here to guide you through the thrilling world of oral hygiene. So, grab your toothbrush and let's get this party started!

**Brushing 101:**

  • Choose a toothbrush that's right for you (electric or manual, we won't judge).
  • Squeeze a pea-sized amount of toothpaste onto your brush (don't be stingy, but don't go crazy either).
  • Brush those pearly whites in circular motions for 2 whole minutes (yes, it's a long time, but think of all the Instagram scrolling you could do).
  • Don't forget the back, front, and top surfaces of your teeth (you know, the ones you can't see in the mirror).
  • Rinse that bad boy out with some water (not mouthwash, we're not there yet).

**Flossing Frenzy:**

  • Take a piece of floss (about the length of your arm, because why not?) and wrap it around your middle fingers.
  • Leave about an inch or two of floss in between (don't get too tangled, we're not making a bird's nest).
  • Gently slide the floss between your teeth in a 'C' shape (think of it as a little hug for your gums).
  • Curve the floss around the base of each tooth (no, you can't skip the ones in the back).
  • Rinse with water, and voilĂ ! You're done!

There you have it! Now go forth and brush those teeth like your life depends on it (because, let's be real, it kinda does). Happy brushing, and remember, I'm watching you (just kidding, or am I?)!
