🦷🪥Your Toothy Thursday Tip➡️ Overbrushing➡️Overbrushing occurs when you brush your teeth too aggressively, too frequently, or with the wrong tools (such as hard-bristled toothbrushes). While brushing keeps your mouth clean, doing it too hard damages delicate gum tissue and wears away protective tooth enamel.
Common Signs➡️Receding gums: Gum tissue is pushed back, exposing the sensitive roots of your teeth.
Tooth sensitivity: Worn-down enamel exposes the underlying dentin, causing pain when eating hot or cold foods.
Notching or grooves: Visible wedge-shaped indentations near the gumline.
Irritated gums: Gums that are swollen, red, or bleed easily.
