This blog post tells the story of my search for the perfect eco-friendly toothbrush. It started a few years ago…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Towards the end of 2018, I went to my dentist for a checkup as I hadn’t seen her in a while. She said my teeth were fine but I was brushing them too hard, making my gums recede a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brushing too hard causes receding gums, which enables bacteria and plaque to build up, and wears away tooth enamel. She recommended I use an electric toothbrush with a sensor that warns when you’re applying too much pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had tried electric toothbrushes before but never liked them. However, it had been a while, so I decided to give it another go. It wasn’t long until Christmas, so when my family asked what they could get me, I said: “An electric toothbrush with a pressure sensor please!”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fast-forward to Christmas day and I got not one, but two, as my sister and my mother hadn’t discussed with each other what they were getting me. So I got this beauty<\/a> from my sister:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
