Brushing teeth, do you start with the front or the back?
I use a whitening toothpaste, so I feel like it's better to start with the front because then I get more toothpaste, less saliva. Gross. But I used to start in the back, so I'm wondering what the norm is. Thanks.

I start in the front and move quickly to the back. I try not to brush in one spot for too long at a time.
I also start in the front, and work way to back. I also get all sides, front, top, and behind.
Start in the back and work my way across. That way I dont miss anything.
I brush the same way I read
Bottom row: Right back outside > Front outside > Left back outside
Top row: Left back outside > Front outside > Right back outside
Bottom row: Right back top > Front top > Left back top
Top row: Left back top > Front top > Right back top
Top row: Right back inside > Front inside > Left back inside
Bottom row: Left back inside > Front inside > Right back inside
No idea how I started doing this, but ever since I paid attention to brushing well, this is the way I do it every time. I alternate top and bottom to dip down into the tongue area to get some more toothpaste foam on the brush.
Back inside left the right inside left the uppers, then lowers, then outside the whole mess.. I'm not sure why I do it that way..I just do
I start with the front because my teeth are very temperature sensitive and my front teeth are a bridge (artificial), so it gives the toothbrush and toothpaste a chance to warm up before hitting the real teeth.
