I hear you on the pressure sensors—those things are sneaky helpful. I used to think brushing harder meant cleaner teeth (spoiler alert: it doesn't), and my gums paid the price. The sensor was like having a tiny dentist on my shoulder, nagging me gently every time I got carried away. Sure, the novelty wears off, but the habit sticks around. Might seem gimmicky at first, but honestly, it's one of those rare bells-and-whistles features that's actually worth it.

Haha, that's exactly what I need... I'm always paranoid about brushing too hard or not enough. Honestly, the whole electric toothbrush thing feels a bit overwhelming right now—so many options and features. But hearing your experience makes me feel better about giving it a shot. Maybe I'll finally stop worrying about wrecking my gums every morning!
I felt the same way at first—so many bells and whistles, it felt like shopping for a new phone or something. Ended up going with a basic model that had the pressure sensor and a simple timer. Honestly, that's all I needed. My gums stopped feeling sore after a week or two, and now I can't imagine going back to manual brushing. Don't stress too much about the fancy features... simpler can be better (and cheaper).
I went with a simpler one too after reading a ton of reviews—honestly couldn't tell if all the extra modes were worth it. My dentist keeps mentioning pressure sensors though... does yours actually help you brush better, or is it more like a gimmick? I'm still kinda skeptical about how much difference one little feature can make.
I get why you're skeptical, but honestly, pressure sensors aren't just marketing fluff. I used to brush way too hard without realizing it—my gums were always irritated. Once I switched to a brush with a sensor, it was eye-opening how often I triggered it. Took a bit to adjust, but now my gums feel way healthier. Still, everyone's brushing habits are different... have you noticed any gum sensitivity or recession issues yourself?
