1. You Forget to Brush Your Tongue, Too
There's just as much gunk on your tongue as there is on your teeth. That's why you can't forget to brush your tongue. It'll reduce your bad breath and make you feel a whole lot cleaner.
2. You’re Brushing Too Hard
Don't hurt yourself. Brushing harder isn't going to do anything, except damage your tooth enamel and hurt your gums.
3. You Brush at the Wrong Angle
You should be holding your brush at a 45 degree angle. Then you should brush in super small strokes, almost like you're cleaning one tooth at a time.
4. You Replace Your Toothbrush Every Time You Get Sick
This is just a waste of money. Why? Well, "whatever germs are on your brush are the same ones your body just built up a bunch of antibodies against."
What you choose to wear while working out can have a significant impact on your comfort and performance. One essential item is the sports bra. Lack of proper support can lead to discomfort and muscle tissue damage. Choosing a good sports bra can help prevent these problems and ensure a great workout!
5. You Share a Toothbrush
You can share everything else with your man, but don't share your toothbrush. It could actually cause an infection.

6. Your Toothbrush is Too Old
The longer you use the same toothbrush, the worse the bristles will be. That means they won't clean your teeth as well. You should be replacing your brush every three or four months.
7. You Don’t Brush for Long Enough
You're meant to brush for two minutes straight. Grab your phone, set a timer, and don't stop until it goes off.
