Hi hope you are doing good
It's no harm in using electronic toothbrush but always brush from gums to tooth motion i.e for your upper teeth brush from upward to downward direction and for your lower teeth brush from downward to upward direction .
Don't brush more than 2 minutes.
Health Tips
brush twice a day followed by floss and mouthwash
