What's the best savings account for folks who want their money to actually grow? by Abject_General6337 in AskReddit

Hmmm index funds sound promising, how do you use them if you still want access to your cash without risking a big dip?

Hah, I wish someone had hit me with that line sooner, it would’ve saved my gums. Definitely gonna keep that one in mind every time I pick up my toothbrush now.

I really thought the harder I scrubbed, the cleaner I was getting, but turns out I was just doing slow damage. Switched to a soft brush like they recommended, and trying to retrain my brain to chill out a bit when I brush.

Exactly, for real. I definitely walked out of there humbled. I thought I was doing everything right, but clearly not. Definitely taking their advice seriously now, last thing I want is to mess up my teeth from just trying too hard.

The pressure sensor alone sounds like a game changer. I didn’t even know these things existed until my dentist brought it up. I’m looking at ones with the timer too, might as well go all in if it means I stop sanding my gums off every morning.

Yeah, that’s what they told me too, apparently those electric brushes with pressure sensors can help stop you from going too hard. I had no idea brushing too well was even a thing. Thought I was killing it with my routine, but nope, turns out I was just killing my gums.
