Is brushing teeth 4 times a day bad?!
Question:
Is brushing teeth 4 times a day bad?
Some people might say it is bad for the enamel. Is 4 times a day considered excessive brushing?
Answers:
Brushing 4 times a day won't hurt you as long as you are doing it right.
The purpose of brushing is to remove the sticky white film of germs (bacterial plaque) that causes cavities and gum disease. As long as you follow the right brushing techniques and effectively remove the plaque without traumatizing your gums or sawing a notch into the side of your teeth (caused by using a horizontal back-and-forth brushing stroke), you will be OK.
Hope this helps.
