When should I brush my teeth?

Brush your teeth for about 2 minutes last thing at night before you go to bed and on 1 other occasion every day. Brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste twice a day for about 2 minutes to help keep your teeth and mouth healthy. Tooth brushing stops plaque building up. Try to make sure you brush every surface of all your teeth.

Should I use an electric or manual toothbrush?

It doesn’t matter whether you use an electric or manual toothbrush.

They’re both equally good, as long as you brush all the surfaces of all your teeth and you use fluoride toothpaste.

If you’re using an electric brush, one with an oscillating or rotating head may work better than a manual toothbrush.
