Explanation:

For the first question, the correct dental - brushing technique is to position the brush at a 45 - degree angle to the gums as it helps clean the gum - tooth interface effectively. Sponge swabs are not a substitute for toothbrushes for regular brushing, brushing from crown to gum is incorrect as it should be from gum to crown, and holding the toothbrush vertically is not the standard position. For the second question, when brushing the inner surfaces of teeth, brushing up and down (vertically) helps reach all areas and clean effectively. Sponge swabs are not ideal, brushing from crown to gum is wrong, and brushing back - and - forth can damage gums and is not the recommended method.

Answer:

First question: Position the brush at a 45 - degree angle to the gums.
Second question: Brush up and down.
