While you may think that vigorously brushing your teeth helps to keep them cleaner and prevent cavities, there is such a thing as too much effort.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀
Signs you're brushing too hard:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Receeding gums
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Frayed toothbrush
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Bleeding gums
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Tooth sensitivity
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Teeth begin to look dull
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Enamel begins to wear away
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀
Using a soft or even extra soft toothbrush can do just as an effective a job at cleaning your teeth, and is less likely to damage your enamel.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you have any of the signs listed above, it might be time to make a check-up appointment. We can advise you on the health of your teeth and gums, offer solutions and teach you safer brushing techniques.
