Scrubbing harder doesn't mean a brighter smile. In fact, your toothbrush could be doing more harm than good!

Brushing too aggressively, especially with a hard-bristled toothbrush, can contribute to enamel wear and gum recession.

Over time, this may expose sensitive areas of your teeth, causing discomfort when you consume hot or cold foods and drinks.

So, what's the right way to brush? 

  • Choose soft bristles: Clean effectively while being gentle on your gums. 
  • Use gentle pressure: Let the bristles do the work instead of scrubbing aggressively. 
  • Brush for two minutes: Cover all tooth surfaces using small, gentle movements. 
  • Be gentle along the gumline: Clean thoroughly without irritating your gums.

Remember, good oral hygiene isn't about brushing harder—it's about brushing smarter.
