Can brushing your teeth too often or too long literally scrape the enamel off of!

If you're a bit too enthusiastic when brushing your teeth, you could be doing more harm than good.

Brushing your teeth longer and harder than is necessary may not be making your teeth any cleaner and could be causing permanent damage, says a study by researchers at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

They found that when people using an electric toothbrush increased the length of their brushing and the amount of pressure they applied to their teeth, removal of harmful bacteria only improved up to a point.

That type of aggressive brushing increased the risk of oral health problems including abrasion of tooth enamel or gums.

Hope this helps!

It is possible, so don't be overly zealous. Everything is good in moderation ;-)
