Common Mistakes To Avoid While Using An Electric Toothbrush

With the introduction of technology in the oral care industry, the advent of electric toothbrushes has changed the whole scenario.

One of the major mistakes that people do is neglecting to replace the brush heads of their electric toothbrush.

WASHING THE ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH

Another major mistake that people commit is that they also wash the whole electric toothbrush after brushing teeth. However, one should only clean the brush heads after brushing the teeth and not the whole brush. Washing the whole brush could damage the product or make it no longer functionable. Proper care should be provided so that life of electric toothbrush can be prolonged.

Devoting less time would leave some areas of mouth uncleansed and could lead to infections or plaque. Hence, proper time should always be devoted.
