> Not using an electric toothbrush. First time I used one it felt like I'd had a proper dental cleaning.

Same here. It's completely changed my life. For mini-me, the built-in timer helps them be sure to brush enough.



For ADHD brain, the timer built into the toothbrush makes all the difference. Sometimes that 30 second interval feels like five seconds, and sometimes I could swear it's been five minutes and I start wondering if it's broken. Nope, that's just ADHD time blindness. I almost certainly never brushed for anywhere close to long enough prior to my electric toothbrush.


Mini-me also has ADHD and the electric toothbrush has made trips to the dentist far more enjoyable.


I wish there was a way to change the timer because I find it ridiculously short, I'm usually barely halfway through when the entire cycle is finished.


My electric vibrates the timer.. I just brush each quarter of my mouth for each timer period. The vibration is annoying, but it's a routine that works for me.
