is it bad to brush your teeth too much?!

3 times a day isn't usually too much. Sometimes when people brush too often there gums bleed. It also can wear on the teeth too much. But I don't think three times is too much. It just depends if you exceed 2 minutes of brushing each time and brush too hard.

LoL, I love your ID name...anyway, it's not necessarily bad to brush more than 3x a day. Only thing is that you could run the risk of brushing away some of your enamel, which can lead to tooth sensitivity. Believe me, you don't want this it hurts when you eat anything sweet, salty or cold foods, like ice-cream. So just keep that in mind.

Well if you see a bunch of crap on your teeth then it would probably be best if you just brush it. However, if you brush too much, your gums can turn black and get all bruised up, and might you might start seeing your gum line recede which is bad. Three times is more than enough.

yeah. like, you can erode your gums and pretty much brush them away and then they have to go and take skin from the roof of your mouth and patch it up. its called a receding gum line...yes. like a receding hair line but in your mouth. i only brush my teeth in the morning and at night. i think thats reasonable. you could replace the 3rd with mouthwash or something.

my brain.

in a survey done it was found that brushing more than 2 times/day will not give more cleanliness.
so brushing twice/day is sufficient but the timing is important.
especially at night before going to sleep you should brush.

yes it is bad for your teeth's health
