Are You Brushing Wrong? 80% of People Make This Mistake

✅ The Right Way

1. Use a soft-bristled brush. It’s gentler on enamel and gums.

2. Brush in gentle circles, not back-and-forth scrubbing.

3. Take your time — at least 2 minutes. Most people only brush for 30–45 seconds.

4. Don’t rinse with water afterward. Just spit. This leaves fluoride in place to strengthen your teeth.

5. Don’t forget your tongue and cheeks. That’s where the bacteria that cause bad breath hide.

💡 The Bonus Hack Dentists Swear By

Replace your toothbrush every 3 months or when bristles start to fray. Worn-down bristles (like in the picture above) don’t clean properly and can actually irritate your gums.
