Fone's Method of Brushing

  Fone's Method of Brushing

One of the first methods of brushing teeth was taught to you at a young age. This technique is the easiest brushing method to learn as it does not require much effort. Children and young teens are more likely to utilize the Fone's Method as a result. While it does remove plaque, it is not the most recommended method to use as it isn’t as effective as other methods. However, if you happen to babysit children often or have younger family members, the Fone's Method may be handy for you to know if needed to instruct children on how to brush teeth. Below are the steps for the Fone's Method:

• Clench teeth in a biting position.

• Position the bristles of the toothbrush on the surface of the teeth at a 90 degree angle.

• Move the bristles in large circular motions until all surfaces have been covered for ten second intervals.

• Open mouth to brush the inside surface of teeth facing the tongue.

Viola! You have easily mastered the Fone's Method of brushing.
