I was brushing my teeth for 2 minutes but still getting cavities until my dentist in Cleveland pointed out my angle was wrong.
He showed me on a model that I was scrubbing flat against the gum line instead of holding the brush at a 45-degree angle, so has anyone else had a dentist catch a basic habit you were messing up?

Ever have them check your flossing technique? Mine watched me once and said I was just snapping it down, not cuddling the tooth. You gotta wrap it around each side in a C shape. Felt like I failed a test.

Seriously? I've been doing it wrong my whole life too. Guess we all need a demo on how to hold a toothbrush.

Wrong your whole life" is a strong take, @aaron_mitchell. What exactly were you doing? Just scrubbing back and forth?
