Brushing your teeth too often, electrical toothbrush or not, is not good. A friend of mine is a bit of a "plaque phobic", she used to brush her teeth after each meal, snack and drink. Her dentist told her to stop because her enamel had started to wear off, making the teeth weaker. Brushing your teeth 3 times a day should be the limit.
I would also recommend changing your toothbrush regularly, especially after you've been sick or had a cavity fixed since it retains the germs (here the recommended minimum is every 3 months but I change more often than that), and changing toothpaste brand regularly too (like all hygiene products and cosmetics, I find you get better results by changing regularly, maybe the body gets used to it?).
