Is it bad to overbrush teeth?
like 4 or 5 times per day.
Answers:
i'm a dentist. it's ok to brush everytime you eat, but you need to have the correct brushing techniques (aim 45 degrees towards the gumline) and do not brush too hard. Brushing too hard will cause wear on the enamel and also recession. When the roots are exposed due to recession, the tooth is more sensitive to hot/cold.
