   "You brush your teeth every day, but are you doing it properly? Here's how to brush: Hold your toothbrush at a slight angle against your teeth and brush with short back-and-forth motions. Remember to brush the back and chewing surfaces of your teeth, as well as your tongue. Avoid vigorous or harsh scrubbing, which can irritate your gums. Or use an electric toothbrush. Either way, brush your teeth at least twice a day: in the morning and before you go to bed." Mayo Clinic It seems the older I get, the better care I need to take of my teeth.  Flossing, brushing carefully, and twice-a-year cleanings.  Here are some tips from Mayo on how to brush your teeth correctly.
