Brushing should be focused on all the surfaces of your teeth. If you use an electric toothbrush, you can brush your tongue, the back of your cheeks, the area below your tongue and even the upper portion of your mouth. Eliminate any food particles in the mouth, so that bacteria cannot remain anywhere.

Flossing is an extremely useful practice to clear your teeth of all bacteria. The minute organisms tend to hide between your teeth, and just brushing may not eliminate them. Dental floss can clean your teeth thoroughly and actually gives a polishing effect to your teeth.
