4 Signs You’re Brushing Your Teeth Too Hard, and 4 Ways You Can Fix It

3. Use an electric toothbrush.

One feature some toothbrushes have is that they’ll tell you if you’re brushing too hard. Their lights will change from green to red, and they’ll start making a different noise to alert you. So you need to make sure that the light remains green when you brush, letting you know when to apply the correct amount of pressure. But not all electric toothbrushes have these sensors, so make sure to check in the box first.
