At Shraddha’s Dental Care, we often see patients who brush daily but still face tooth sensitivity or gum problems. One common reason is brushing too hard. Gentle brushing is key to maintaining healthy teeth and gums.
Aggressive brushing can damage tooth enamel and irritate the gums, leading to sensitivity and gum recession. Since plaque is soft, it can be removed effectively with the right technique—not force.
Tips for gentle brushing:
- Use a soft-bristled toothbrush
- Brush at a 45-degree angle to the gums
- Use small, circular motions
- Brush for two minutes, twice daily
- Avoid scrubbing
Gentle brushing protects your enamel, supports healthy gums, and helps your smile last a lifetime.
Be kind to your teeth—they’re meant to last a lifetime.
