Not sure if this is 100% scientifically backed but I read a bit by a dental hygienist on a forum that you shouldn’t rinse when brushing with proper toothpaste because it can help remineralize the teeth if when its not rinsed away after

Its annoying but its a good way to cut down on mindless snacking at the very least for me so its something I do sometimes. Hope its not voodoo

    You can get electric tooth brushes that will turn a red alert light on if you push too hard. Wearing down your teeth by an electric toothbrush is not more of a concern than using a manual one.

        they way you brush with an electric toothbrush has almost nothing to do with how you brush with a classic one, so you can get right to work learning to do it healthy. The ones that give you “pushing too hard” feedback are now also in the lower budget segment, so you should be just fine :)
