how many times a day should i opt to brush them then?Is it bad to brush your teeth multiple times a day (as in like 5 or 6)?
NO, it is perfectly fine. ideally, you should brush not only after meals but after having snacks as well. if you can't do it after snacking rinsing your mouth and chewing some gum can help but nothing beats brushing thoroughly.
it is not really the frequency of brushing that can damage teeth but the way you brush. toothbrush abrasion is caused by brushing with a horizontal stroke along the gumline at the cemento enamel junction (CEJ) because that is where the enamel (the hard covering of the tooth crown) ends and the cementum (the much softer part of teeth covering the roots). not doing this stroke equals no toothbrush abrasion along the CEJ.
you can use a scrubbing motion on the biting surfaces of your teeth. i recommend a sweeping motion starting at the gum area with a semi-circular motion of the brush by rotating your wrist. this way the bristles massage your gums and engage the areas between teeth in one motion. each surface should receive at least ten strokes each. the more often you thoroughly remove bacterial build-up on teeth, the more you reduce the risk for dental caries.
but because many people find it difficult to brush more often, brushing AT LEAST TWICE A DAY (morning and evening after meals) is the recommended MINIMUM. so, go ahead brush five times a day but brush the right way.Is it bad to brush your teeth multiple times a day (as in like 5 or 6)?
Brushing too often can actually cause your gums to recede. Sensitive teeth are a symptom of gum recession and over years this could cause you to actually lose your teeth. You shouldn't brush more than 2-3 times a day. Try rinsing with a non-alcohol based mouthwash instead when you feel the need to brush excessively. Also make sure you're getting the most out of your brushing by brushing for about 2 minutes each time and making sure you get all of the surfaces of your teeth. Don't forget to floss either, but don't do any of these excessively.
Make sure to cover your toothbrush - dont introduce it to any germs. Also leaving it in wet baggies or cases can cause bacteria...
Yes...the bristles on toothbrushes can wear away the enamel of your teeth and make your teeth more sensitive and more susceptible to bacterial decay...also, I'm not entirely sure, but it may also cause your gums to recede more, making your teeth look longer and older...you dont need to brush after every meal...rinsing your mouth out with clean water, chewing gum, and using mouthwash are all acceptable alternatives.
yes because i wears down your enamel and makes it sensitive and the it is really easy to get cavities and decay and gum disease i think you should brush your teeth 3 times a day at most it is just enough and does not wear down your enamel as fast hope i helped montana
not eaxctly. but if you brush that much everyday than it can wear away enamel and your teeth will look decayed. it is actually very common in the U.S. just keep it under a normal amount a day like 3-4 times a day.:)
Yes, it actually takes the enamel off your teeth and weakens them. I suggest brushing your teeth 3 times a day: after breakfast, after lunch, and after dinner.
it depends on the times of the day. if they are close together, it could be dangerous because it removes enamel from your teeth. If they are more spread throughout the day, it should be fine
yes, thats is way to many times a day. it could cause problems to ur teeth
Yes, it can wear away your enamel.
