It is obsessive compulsory disorder as per psychologists I think. Besides you are likely to lose your enamel and have to spend a lot of money on your toothbrushes and paste, if also use the same. Had that been healthy and all people will fall in line and the toothbrush industry and their sister concerns in toothpaste business will flourish like anything. If you still like to go ahead, do so, but for god sake don’t brush too vigorously. Sometimes certain things we can’t resist. Sounds better than drugs, chewing tobacco and smoking sticks.

You have time to brush 20 times? You will scratch your enamel, your gums will become really hard, you'll waste water and use your toothpate about 10x faster than normal. Not to mention you'll need a new toothbrush every 18 days. (If you need to replace a toothbrush every 3 months and you brush your teeth twice a day.)

That's very obsessive compulsive; you can damage your enamel by over-brushing your teeth. Two to three times daily is plenty of brushing. Pack some mints if you feel like your teeth are dirty (but opt for ones low in sugar and without artificial sweetners, as artificial sweeteners are unhealthy for teeth and your body in general--Splenda contains chlorine and other unnatural ingredients!).

No, it definitely isn't!!! It's nothing but misuse. The floride in the toothpaste is all good to destroy the teeth's natural enamel. Even if you brust w/o toothpaste, the bristles of your brush will destroy and weaken the enamel.
And practicall speaking, are you really going to brush 20 times a day?!

Its a sign of obsessive compulsive disorder. If you are brushing your teeth at least 20 times a day then it is distracting you from your normal daily activities. OCD can cause a person to do many strange things such as clean there house multiple times a day just for seeing a speck of dust...opening and shutting doors multiple times....counting objects....washing hair multiple times a day....bathing multiple times....it can even cause hording and collecting of useless items...books, papers, trash, animals. It can affect and disrupt daily activities. There is treatments for it. You should consider asking your doctor if it is normal.

Sounds like you have O.C.D.
I can't imagine you have any enamel left on your teeth.
For the love of Pete... you need to stop all that brushing . Eat a peach or an apple or crochet but knock off all the senseless brushing.

No. Twice is more than enough, If you brush too often, and with toothpaste, you will wear away the enamel and they teeth will rot and drop out. It sounds like you have a mild case of OCD.

Brushing the same tooth 20 times a day may be excessive.

It's quite excessive. You only need to brush them two or three times a day. With the amount you're brushing them, you're more than likely removing the enamel from your teeth.

My dentist told me if I brushed more than 3 times a day I risk brushing the enamel away. try something else to freshen your teeth in between brushing.
