False! Brushing alone misses up to 40% of your tooth surfaces. That’s like washing only 60% of your body! Flossing isn’t just about removing food. It’s also about preventing gum disease, cavities, and even bad breath. Floss daily for cleaner and healthier teeth!

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.

As the bristles of your toothbrush wear over time, they become less effective at removing plaque and debris from your teeth and gums.🪥 Also, worn-out bristles can be harsh on your gums, causing irritation and even gum recession.

So, if it’s been more than 3–4 months (or the bristles look worn sooner), it’s time for a new toothbrush! Your teeth and gums will thank you 🦷 For more information, give us a call at (201) 327-1976!
