Let’s clear up a common misconception about your morning routine. 🪥
It’s a natural instinct to think that more force equals a deeper clean. But when it comes to your teeth, aggressive brushing acts more like sandpaper than a cleanser.
Plaque is actually soft and film-like. It doesn't require heavy scrubbing to remove—just intentional, thorough placement. Over time, firm bristles and heavy pressure can scrub away your protective enamel and push back your gum line, leading to painful sensitivity.
The Clinical Tip: Switch to a soft-bristled brush. Hold it at a 45-degree angle toward your gum line, and move it in gentle, circular motions. Let the bristles do the work, not your muscles.
