Brushing too hard can damage your teeth and gums. You may think aggressive brushing means better cleaning, but it can lead to gum recession, enamel wear, and tooth sensitivity. Opt for soft-bristled toothbrushes instead and hold it at a 45-degree angle using circular motions. Your teeth need care, not force. Questions about your brushing technique? Call us at (636) 464-2200.

Did you know that using the wrong kind of toothbrush can do more harm than good? For kids under 8, opt for soft-bristled brushes with smaller heads to protect their delicate gums. Adults should choose a brush that fits their mouth comfortably and replace it every 3 months. Electric toothbrushes are a win for adults and children alike! Want more dental care tips?

Brushing too hard can do more harm than good. Scrubbing aggressively doesn’t mean cleaner teeth. It can actually wear down enamel and irritate your gums. The trick is to use a soft-bristle toothbrush in gentle circular motions and brush for a full 2 minutes. Think of brushing like massaging rather than scrubbing. If your toothbrush bristles fray quickly or your gums bleed often, it might be time to rethink your technique.
