You’re Using Your Electric Toothbrush WRONG 😬 (How to Fix It!)
By Regency Dental Group Includes video
Are you using your electric toothbrush the WRONG way? Let’s fix that. If you’re scrubbing back and forth like you’re cleaning the kitchen floor — stop! Whether it’s electric or manual, brushing should always be gentle. With electric brushes, you barely need to move at all. Just tilt it at a 45° angle toward your gums (up for the top teeth, down for the bottom teeth), gently glide it tooth to tooth, and let the brush do the work. I personally love an electric toothbrush with a pressure sensor — it’ll literally tell you if you’re brushing too hard. Because once those bristles splay flat, they don’t clean properly. Your teeth deserve better. Happy brushing!
