you might be using your electric toothbrush WRONG! #shorts
Many people unknowingly use their electric toothbrushes incorrectly, potentially diminishing their oral hygiene effectiveness. Understanding the correct technique can help maximize the benefits of your electric toothbrush, improving overall dental health.
- Hold the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle towards your gums. This position ensures that plaque and bacteria along the gumline are effectively targeted.
- Gently guide the brush along your teeth. Allow the electric toothbrush to do the work, moving it slowly from one tooth to the next without scrubbing.
- Focus on allowing the brush's motion to clean for you rather than applying force or making fast, manual movements.
Even if you are using a manual toothbrush, you should apply similar principles to maintain gum health. Use gentle motions, either small circles or gentle sweeps from tooth to tooth. Avoid aggressive scrubbing, which can harm the gums.
Always use gentle motions with any toothbrush, whether electric or manual, to protect your gums and enhance cleaning efficiency.
