  1. Harmful Effect Of Overbrushing On Your Teeth Brushing your teeth is essential for proper dental hygiene. Some People who brush longer and harder than necessary not only fail to make their teeth cleaner but actually risk harming themselves, a study shows. Brushing vigorously isn’t necessary to remove plaque. “Plaque is so soft layer that you could easily remove it with a rag if you could reach all the surfaces where it hides. At the end you’re not going to achieve any extra benefit by brushing hard. Probably brushing your teeth several times per day for five minutes will keep your mouth as clean and healthy as possible, but over brushing can actually be harmful to your teeth and gums. How?

  2. When you brush with too force, you can wear down the outer layer of your teeth. Lost enamel means less protective coating for your teeth, which can cause your teeth to become sensitive to hot and cold. Brushing hard also damages tender gum tissue and can eventually cause it to recede, exposing sensitive tooth roots and leaving them vulnerable to periodontal disease and decay. Over Brushing can also wear out the gums by pushing them back over time. Eventually, your gums can recede so much that they’ll reveal the root of the tooth, which can cause pain and sensitivity. What are some signs to look for that may indicate you are overbrushing? Splayed bristles on your toothbrush Swollen or red gums after brushing Bleeding gums Gum recession Always remember, over brushing teeth won't give you the end result you want. When you use the appropriate tools and implement a gentle but thorough brushing technique, you'll win the race for clean teeth and a healthy mouth every time.
