Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

fuck. making mistakes with my teeth always makes me so fucking anxious
thank you for the response,
oof, i guess i should have purchased a more expensive model
i hate to say this (because i want to find the root cause), but i remember reading somewhere that said old brush heads can cause gum recession because they can harbour more bacteria, and other sources suggested that the jagged edges of a worn brush can cause gum recession
it is plausible that this occured due to a lack of flossing, although the recession only occured in certain spots instead of all of them, (saying this without knowing pattern of recession)
