Today, electric toothbrushes are a highly effective daily-use product for oral hygiene. They thoroughly clean our teeth, promote healthier gums, and effectively reduce the incidence of oral diseases. So, what is the correct way to use an electric toothbrush?
Charging Options
Step 1
First, wet the electric toothbrush head, then apply toothpaste to the bristles. Use the same amount of toothpaste as you would with a traditional toothbrush. Do not use less toothpaste just because the brush head is smaller.
Step 2
Put the electric toothbrush in your mouth, then turn it on. If you turn it on before putting it in your mouth, toothpaste will splatter everywhere.
Step 3
Battery and Daily Use
Brush each tooth thoroughly, making sure not to miss any. Pay special attention to the area where your teeth meet your gums. As you brush each tooth, focus on the gum line and all areas of the tooth. You don’t need to use excessive force—the electric toothbrush will do the work for you.
Step 4
Brush the outer surfaces of your teeth first, then the inner surfaces. Next, brush the chewing surfaces. Do the same for your upper and lower teeth.
Step 5
After you’ve finished brushing your teeth and gums, remember to turn off your electric toothbrush. Here’s a handy tip: turn it off while it’s still in your mouth to avoid splashing water. Then rinse the electric toothbrush thoroughly and place it on the charger; it’s best to keep the charger in a well-ventilated area.
Choosing a Charging Method
Once you’ve brushed each tooth and along the gumline, turn off the electric toothbrush. Be sure to turn it off while it’s still in your mouth; otherwise, water may splash out. Rinse the electric toothbrush thoroughly, then place it on the charger.
