    It’s a soft brush and my enamel’s still okay. I just don’t want cavities or plaque buildup so it’s my way of playing it safe.

      I can’t comment on your habits and certainly the soft toothbrush is a great start. However this is a selling point for electric toothbrushes: they generally don’t let you brush too hard.

      If you’re not using “firm” bristles and not brushing too hard, there’s very little chance that brushing too long is a problem

      Have you considered actually asking a dentist, or even googling this online? “Nothings gone bad yet” isn’t really the endorsement you’re selling it as. If you only brushed once a day for 2 minutes, you’d probably also be “still okay”. Doesn’t make it a good idea.
