Brushing Your Teeth TOO Hard? Here’s What Happens…

Gum Recession: This is when the gums pull away from the teeth, exposing the tooth roots. This can lead to sensitivity, tooth loss, and other problems.
Tooth Enamel Erosion: Enamel is the hard outer layer of your teeth. Brushing too hard can wear away this protective layer, making your teeth more susceptible to decay and sensitivity.
Gum Disease: Aggressive brushing can irritate the gums, leading to inflammation and gum disease.
To prevent these problems, it’s important to brush your teeth gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Use a toothpaste with fluoride and brush for two minutes twice a day. You should also see your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings.
