Mga kaibigan, let's talk about a habit many of us are guilty of. After a meal of sinigang or a sweet kakanin, we head to the bathroom and attack our teeth with a toothbrush like we're scrubbing the floor. We believe that the harder we brush, the cleaner we get.

The well-meaning intention to have a clean, healthy smile is backfiring for countless Filipinos, leading to sensitive teeth and receding gums.
