In a few decades, electric toothbrushes will be so common that children won't know how to brush their teeth "manually"

We never knew. Fortunately electric tootbrushes saved us.

When I was a kid, we had regular visits at school from some kind of dentist group. They would show us how to properly brush and floss, and handed out free toothbrushes.

One thing to note, if you find flossing very difficult, like you have to use a lot of force to put the floss in between your teeth to floss, your teeth may have spacing issues and you might need braces.

I know this because as an adult I got braces and then all of a sudden I found it incredibly easy to floss. It's like 10 seconds and my breath smells better and my gums are healthier because it is easy and convenient to floss now.
