I refuse to believe that anyone brushes their teeth for 5 straight minutes. No way you're more than doubling the recommendation just for fun

    My toothbrush counts 2 mins, good enough for me. I've lost a bunch of teeth to pregnancy, don't need more than that.

    She gave birth to the next Mike Tyson.

    But in seriousness, pregnancy fucks women up. It's a huge strain on the body so I wouldn't be surprised if someone's teeth got weakened by pregnancy.

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

    This has to constitute over brushing which is also bad and leads to cavities

    I'll get watching a video or something and might do it for longer than that. It's probably really not good for my gums.

    It's very unlikely to be bad for your gums unless you're brushing directly on them every time you brush. The main thing id be worried about is brushing off the enamel, but that generally only happens if you're brushing way too hard with harsh bristles.
