Do you only clean your teeth with an electric toothbrush? How to use electric toothbrushes and tongue cleaners correctly

Regular toothbrush vs electric toothbrush

A common conclusion in a study comparing conventional and electric toothbrushes is that there is no significant difference between the two products.

If you have wrist or arm discomfort or have trouble brushing your teeth properly, using an electric toothbrush can help maintain dental health.

How to use your electric toothbrush correctly

In the case of electric toothbrushes, if you keep them in close contact and stay still, the toothbrush will vibrate itself, so the inflammation in the lower gum area will be removed.

Therefore, when using an electric toothbrush, you should not finish it quickly, but keep a reasonable amount of time for each part to brush your teeth properly.

The only caveat is that you should use the bristles between your gums and your teeth. Holding the toothbrush just on your teeth will only wear down the surface of your teeth. When choosing a toothbrush, be sure to choose a fine hair product, tilt the upper teeth up and the lower teeth downward, and sweep them from the inside out to remove plaque and white matter cleanly.

How to use the tongue cleaner correctly

The general rule of thumb is to brush your tongue from the inside out. If you don't have a tongue cleaner, you can still wipe it off by sweeping it down with a toothbrush.

In addition, for those who feel nauseous when using a tongue cleaner, straining the nostrils can prevent nausea because the nerves are drawn towards the nostrils. Holding the tip of the tongue with your fingers and brushing your tongue down does not make you feel nauseous.
