<\/p>\nBrushing our teeth is a vital part of our daily routines, but what if we\u2019ve been doing it wrong? Here are three common mistakes you might be making when you brush your teeth.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You\u2019re not brushing long enough.<\/strong> You\u2019re brushing too hard.<\/strong> You\u2019re using the wrong brush.<\/strong> xx, The FabFitFun Team<\/p>\n Psst!

\nIt\u2019s recommended that we brush our teeth for two minutes yet the average time people spend brushing is 45 seconds. That’s less than half the time! If two minutes seems too long, set a timer on your Cloudnola Block Clock<\/strong><\/a> or listen to a song that\u2019s around two minutes to ensure you\u2019re brushing long enough.<\/p>\n
\nYour gums are very sensitive, and brushing too hard could damage them. Light, gentle pressure is all that\u2019s needed to remove any bacteria or leftover food from your teeth.<\/p>\n
\nYou can get a good clean using a manual toothbrush, but we prefer an electric one, like the BLAQ Battery Powered Toothbrush<\/strong><\/a>. It uses gentle vibrations to reach those in-between areas that can be difficult to get to with a manual toothbrush. Removing plaque from those spots is key to delivering that super-clean feeling and improving your overall oral health. P.S. If you picked this item, you can subscribe to receive BLAQ replacement heads every season in reFills starting in Winter 2021.<\/p>\n
