161. Toothbrush troubles.
A picture I took a while ago when the clouds were beautiful.
o------------------------------o
Recently my gums have been hurting, I think I brush with far too much pressure! I usually buy the extra soft toothbrushes aimed for people with braces. The other day I tried using a hard toothbrush and MAN! did it hurt!
After doing a little research it seems like most people and dentists recommend using a soft toothbrush. Apparently, the ones with hard bristles wear away your enamel.
Hmmm...whenever I use the hard ones I'll brush more gently, or else it will really hurt. But when I use the softer ones, I brush like crazy 'cause I'm afraid my teeth won't be clean enough.
Ah, maybe I'll just stick a post-it to the mirror reminding myself to brush gently.
