Everyone should brush their teeth at least 2 times a day, but brushing your teeth too much or brushing them to hard can actually wear down the enamel on your teeth making them sensitive to hot and cold fluids. I would keep brushing your teeth as much as you like, but check for signs of your enamel wearing away from time to time.

You probably shouldn't brush over 3 or 4 times.

3 times is even greater absolutely not though your gums might bleed since they won't be used to being brushed 3 times a day but it is better for u the blood stuff will fade though and umm do it after every meal if you want a great smile but to basically answer your question No it is Not a problem to do it more than three times a day you just might be a little sore for a while

Not a problem at all... best case scenario, you should be brushing after each meal and before and after bed.
This is assuming you brush properly... the poster above is implying you can brush too much... NOT TRUE! Just brush properly to avoid damaging your gums.

its fine to brush your teeth more than 2 times a day, but dont over do it because then youll abrade your teeth and that is a very painful experience!

Always use a "soft" bristle tooth brush. Use light pressure against gums and teeth. Best toothbrush is Oral-B Pulsar with soft bristles. It removes as much plaque as floss. Use as often as you want as long as you apply gentle pressure. Best toothpastes contain hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. Best brand, Arm & Hammer.

Yes, you can do damage to your gums if you abuse them...
