Are There Any Side Effects Of Using Electric Toothbrush?
I just brush my teeth and I felt tiny things in between my teeth and when I look at it after running my fingers through the front bottom of my mouth it's a thin white layer of skin...I used a whitening toothpaste with my electric toothbrush...why is this happening?

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.
Read your query.
On reading your symptoms ,we can deduce that you have applied excessive force while brushing and have brushed your gum areas which has caused the wear and tear of the gums.
I would advice you to do salt water gargling or an antiseptic mouthwash gargling. Do not apply too much pressure as it may harm the teeth and gums.
Learn the correct method of brushing from your dentist.
Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
