Yesterday I went to the dentist for my annual cleaning.

I was told (among other things) that I need to switch to a soft brush, or a power brush...because brushing too hard can wear down the gums (thin them out) and weaken the whole bone structure around the teeth.

They said that one of those battery operated brushes are fine, but I don't have to scrub hard with them.

I'm just sharing this because I was always a heavy handed brusher
