Avoid Brushing Teeth Too Hard
Do not brush aggressively; brushing too hard may remove biofilm and tartar but can damage gum tissue and create recesses where bacteria accumulate.

“If you brush too hard, you know, if you take that approach, you brush your teeth really hard, get them really, really clean. Yes, you'll scrape off all the biofilm, you'll avoid tartar buildup, but you can really cause some tenting of the gum tissue above the teeth.”
