For preserving teeth & gums

No matter how careful you are with your brushing technique, research has shown that many people brush too hard, potentially causing damage to tooth enamel and gums. The force you apply to your toothbrush may feel reasonably light, but the pressure is actually much greater because you are applying it to a very small area.

Since it’s practically impossible for the average person to guess how much pressure they are applying, the weight of an orange has been suggested as a comparison for the ideal pressure of 150 grams or about 5.3 oz. We know that holding an orange in one hand and brushing with the other is unrealistic, so we recommend that you ask us at your next appointment for training in the correct brushing, flossing, and pressure techniques!
