    I brush 8 minutes every night with 2 minutes each quadrant. Fuck cavities. Mornings are 4 minutes though.

        Also, be careful about damaging gums. You think cavities are bad? Wait until you hear about gum surgery!

        It’s a soft brush and my enamel’s still okay. I just don’t want cavities or plaque buildup so it’s my way of playing it safe.

          Have you considered actually asking a dentist, or even googling this online? “Nothings gone bad yet” isn’t really the endorsement you’re selling it as. If you only brushed once a day for 2 minutes, you’d probably also be “still okay”. Doesn’t make it a good idea.

      That seems excessive to me but do what you like. I don’t have the patience for that
