What are the best techniques for brushing teeth?<\/p>\n
1 – Place the fluoride toothpaste on the brush that can be manual or electric<\/p>\n
2 – With the brush inclined towards the gums make small circular or horizontal movements, but with little pressure.<\/p>\n
3 – Brush 2 teeth at a time, with about 10 movements (or 5 in the case of children up to 6 years old).<\/p>\n
4 – Start brushing by the external surface (cheek side) of the last tooth of one of the jaws and continue brushing until you reach the last tooth of the opposite side.<\/p>\n

Placing a sealant helps prevent tooth decay, but does not dispense with ordinary oral hygiene of the tooth where it is placed.<\/p>\n
