Also it damages the teeth. You're really suppose to lightly touch the teeth with the toothbrush and not trying to scrub it.

No it doesn't. Your teeth are a lot harder than the bristles on a toothbrush. There's no way for the brush to do any damage to them at all. Even the plastic of the brush isn't hard enough to hurt your teeth. You're just spreading misinformation.
Edit: I thought I knew how this worked, but turns out I was very wrong. I was thinking in terms of like a scratch test. Turns out I'm the one misinformed.

It's not misinformation. Literally the first google search shows that brushing too hard damages the teeth:
"Brushing too hard can wear away protective enamel and leave teeth more prone to developing cavities."34
u/Lucky-Firefighter456 5d ago
Late to the conversation, but I learned this the hard way. Damaged a lot of my teeth at the gumline by brushing too hard. Ended up causing cavities instead of preventing them.

u/anu-nand 4d ago
Just brush for 2 minutes and you’re good. I daily brush twice and just 2 minutes each.

u/dgkimpton 5d ago
It's also a disaster for your gums. Don't brush hard!

u/WickedCoolUsername 5d ago
I went to the dentist for what I thought was a cavity. It wasn't a cavity, it was the nerve becoming exposed by brushing too hard and causing receding gums.

u/metallicdisaster91 5d ago
Happening to me too unfortunately..any way to stop the receding? Ugh I fucking hate this

u/WickedCoolUsername 5d ago
They told me to brush softer and at a 45° angle, and floss daily. Online lists a lot of causes. The preventions listed pretty much consist of keeping good oral health, limiting sugar, and not smoking.

I have an electric one now that lights up if I brush too hard, game changer!

u/anu-nand 4d ago
How much costly is it and how many months does it work
2
u/Gunteroo 3d ago
Around $200, but I got it on sale. I've had it for about two years, it stays charged for a good few weeks before needing a recharge. Just replace the heads, I can get about 4 for $20 or a lot cheaper online.

u/Gunteroo 3d ago
And, if you are really into dental health, you can connect to your phone via an app. I've not bothered with that, so can't say what the features are.

And mountains are harder than saltwater, yet are constantly eroded by it.
They put abrasives like silica in toothpaste. Same concept

My son has sensory issues and we replace his toothbrush every few weeks because his start looking like this from chewing on them while brushing. People are far too quick to judge your toothbrush sheesh.

Get a new toothbrush every 6-9 months. Floss daily. Keep up the good work…. Sorry, I’ve been to the orthodontist a lot lately.

Judging by the amount of toothpaste, somebody in your household must go down the toothpaste aisle a lot. They sell toothbrushes right next to the toothpaste. Grab one.

I have a bad habit of chewing on the bristles of my tooth brush so it gets frayed like this but it also feels better brushing my teeth when it's frayed than not because it doesn't feel as sharp

You need a new toothbrush dude. Brushes need to be replaced once a month at max.

u/Neither-Attention940 3d ago
2 things…
1) WAY too much toothpaste… you’d be surprised how little you actually need. And…
2) you know you’re suppose to replace your toothbrush like every 6 months?… it looks like you’ve had that one 10+ years! You can get multi packs at the dollar store ..of all the things that are too expensive in this world, TOOTHBRUSHES AREN’T ONE OF THEM! 😆😆
