Bleeding gums after starting to use an electric toothbrush is common, but not always normal. The causes may lie in the wrong brush head or improper brushing technique.
Possible reasons:
– Using a brush head that’s too hard
– Applying too much pressure on the gums (some models have a pressure sensor)
– Pre-existing gingivitis or gum inflammation
What to do:
Use brush heads with soft bristles, such as Sensitive Clean
Brush at a 45° angle without applying pressure — simply hold the toothbrush near your teeth, it will do the work for you
If your model has a pressure sensor, follow the indicator for guidance
If bleeding persists for more than a week, consult a dentist
❗ If the problem started after buying a specific model and Oral-B is not helping to resolve it, 👉submit a complaint on Xolvie👈. This will draw attention to the issue and help other users choose a safe product!
