How to use an electric toothbrush

Can You Use an Electric Toothbrush With Braces

Step-by-step instructions for using an electric toothbrush

An electric toothbrush has significantly enhanced your daily brushing routine, but are you using it correctly?

Here are a few tips for using an electric toothbrush when brushing your teeth.

How long do electric toothbrushes last

1. Attach the brush head firmly to the handle

Attach the brush head to an electric toothbrush handle without damaging its slim bar, so that vibrations are transmitted evenly.

Vibrations are evenly transmitted to all teeth, protecting them from damage.

2. Apply a little toothpaste

For optimal results, apply a small amount of toothpaste to the electric toothbrush. 

Overloading the brush with toothpaste can negatively impact its performance and lead to a less effective clean. 

3. Wet the brush head

It is recommended to wet the brush head and toothpaste with a small amount of water prior to brushing. 

This will ensure that the toothpaste and brush head are sufficiently moist for effective cleaning.

4. Brush at 45° angle between teeth and gums

Plaque tends to accumulate in periodontal pockets at the junction of teeth and gums, leaving behind unpolished residue in your mouth. 

Leftovers can lead to tooth decay and gum disease if not addressed promptly; thus, be sure to brush at a 45 degree angle at this junction in order to remove stains from these depressions.

5. Changing tooth areas every 30 seconds

To ensure a thorough clean, it's important to change the cleaning zone every 30 seconds when using an electric toothbrush. 

This allows the brush to reach all sides of the teeth and remove any build-up of plaque.

6. Gently move in a circular motion on your teeth

When brushing with either an electric toothbrush or regular toothbrush, be careful not to press too hard on the bristles. 

Doing so could cause them to come apart and damage gums and mucous membranes in your mouth.

7.Rinse your mouth with water

After brushing your teeth, rinse your mouth with water or use a water flosser.
