i dunno if it was of how rotating electric brushes work, cause i did use an extra soft brush head - though, i haven’t replace it in a recommended time period?

some people are saying they are professionals and they dislike oral b toothbrushes because they are known to cause gum recession. fuck. making mistakes with my teeth always makes me so fucking anxious

    One advice I found handy is using the brush from back to front, on tooth at a time, instead of doing any kind of sawing type motion like you would do with a handbrush. This apparently is better for the gums.

    My dentist told me this is the way to use an electric toothbrush, it does the “brushing” motion for you, so you just hold it there and let it work on each tooth, trying to brush like a normal toothbrush defeats the purpose of using an electric one.
