Many people believe that if they brush their teeth vigorously, they’ll remove more plaque and food debris.
However, this common mistake can lead to tooth damage and sensitivity.
Dentists recommend brushing twice a day, in the morning after breakfast and at night before bed.
Two minutes is the recommended time per brushing, but millions of Americans fall short of this time, which can leave plaque and food debris on their teeth.
Without proper tooth brushing, you’re more susceptible to tooth decay and gum disease because harmful oral bacteria attack tooth enamel and gum tissue.
There are numerous signs that you may be using your toothbrush a little too harshly.
Sometimes there are clinical symptoms such as sensitivity, and other signs require a visual examination by a dental professional.
Gum tissue should be looked at like gold because once you lose gum tissue, you can’t get it back.
While you can’t replace enamel structure, a dental filling can help protect teeth from decay.
Worn gums cannot be replaced so easily, as you’ll need a gum graft and surgery.
Excessive brushing can lead to extremely sensitive teeth, making it impossible for you to eat or drink without pain.
Because excessive tooth brushing can cause irreversible damage, it’s important to look for ways to avoid this habit.
If you’ve already done some damage, maintenance is key.
