i dunno if it was of how rotating electric brushes work, cause i did use an extra soft brush head - though, i haven't replace it in a recommended time period?
some people are saying they are professionals and they dislike oral b toothbrushes because they are known to cause gum recession.
fuck. making mistakes with my teeth always makes me so fucking anxious
I don't think there's any evidence to suggest electric brushes cause gum damage any more than vigorously applied manual brush, which is capable of exerting equal or more friction than electric ones.
It comes down to how hard the brush tips are, the speed of which you brush at simply would accelerate the damage similarly, slowing it down would only slow the damage. There's also the amount of pressure applied, which is why electric ones are designed to stop when too much is applied, note that manual toothbrushes don't have such an alert mechanism so technically you could argue they're more dangerous I suppose.
