Brushing harder doesn't mean brushing better. In fact, using too much pressure can gradually wear down enamel and irritate the gums, potentially leading to sensitivity and other oral health concerns.
A gentle technique with a soft-bristled toothbrush is often all it takes to keep your teeth clean and healthy. If you're experiencing sensitivity, call +1 636-464-2200 to schedule an appointment.
