00:00You've probably been brushing your teeth wrong your whole life.

00:04Using the wrong toothbrush.

00:07Choose a soft, bristled, small-headed brush.

00:09Hard bristles erode enamel and gums.

00:12Electric brushes provide consistent, effective cleaning.

00:16Brushing too hard.

00:18Scrubbing forcefully wears enamel and recedes gums.

00:21Use gentle polishing motions.

00:23Hold the brush lightly to reduce pressure.

00:25Forgetting about the gum line.

00:27Plaque accumulates at the gum line.

00:30Angle the brush 45 degrees and use gentle circles to clean without irritation.

00:35Brushing too fast.

00:3730 seconds isn't enough.

00:40So brush for 2 minutes dividing the mouth into quadrants and using timers or smart brushes to help consistency.

00:46Only brushing the front.

00:48Don't neglect inner and chewing surfaces.

00:51Plaque hides behind front teeth and on molars.

00:53Clean every surface thoroughly.

00:55Using too much toothpaste.

00:57A pea-sized fluoride amount suffices for adults.

01:01Kids need rice-sized.

01:02Excess foam encourages early rinsing, reducing fluoride protection.

01:06Brushing right after eating.

01:09Acids soften enamel after meals.

01:10So wait 30 minutes and drink water.

01:13Because brushing immediately can drive acids deeper and increase wear.

01:18Skipping tongue cleaning.

01:19The tongue harbors odor-causing bacteria.

01:22Briefly brush or scrape it daily to reduce buildup, improve breath, and overall hygiene.

01:26Rinsing too much after brushing.

01:29Heavy rinsing washes away fluoride.

01:32Spit minimally or delay mouthwash to keep fluoride contacting enamel and strengthening teeth.

01:37Not replacing the toothbrush often enough.

01:40After 3 months, bristles fray and clean poorly.

01:44Replace brushes regularly to prevent bacteria buildup and maintain effective cleaning.

01:49The right way to brush.

01:51Use a soft brush.

01:5245 degree angle.

01:53Gentle circles.

01:542 minutes.

01:55Cover all surfaces.

01:56Clean tongue.

01:57And avoid excessive rinsing.
