Brushing harder doesn't mean brushing better. In fact, using too much pressure can gradually wear down enamel and irritate the gums, potentially leading to sensitivity and other oral health concerns.

Do you rinse with water right after brushing your teeth? Many people do, but it may be reducing some of the benefits of your toothpaste. After brushing, simply spit out the excess toothpaste and allow the fluoride to remain on your teeth a little longer to help protect and strengthen enamel. Have questions about your dental care routine? Call +1 201-967-8700 to schedule an appointment.
