Will you brush the enamel off of your teeth, if you brush more than twice a day?

Answer 1

No, you can't remove the enamel. But you can brush too hard and cause the tissue to recede. Then with continued hard brushing you can cause toothbrush abrasion at the softer cementum and dentin below the cementoenamel junction, where the tissue used to be. So always use a soft tooth brush and remember, it's not how often you brush but how effectively that you do! So spend a good 2 or 3 minutes and go over each one making sure they all feel smooth to your tongue and that the tissue is clean, but not red or irritated. If it is, then reduce the pressure your brushing with. Don't forget about flossing too! Good luck and I hope I've been of some help.

Answer 2

AS long as you use a "soft" brush and don't scrub hard enough to cause the gums to bleed. Brushing after every meal is the golden rule,but also floss,it will make your gums healthier.No you can't scrub the enamel off your teeth.Take care. SW RNP

Answer 3

It's important to use a soft brush. How often you brush is not the issue of eroding enamel.

Answer 4

No you won't!!!!!!!! Brushing is good and removes the germs from your teeth and gums. If you don't brush much, you can get gum disease and cavities. It is important not to use an abrasive to brush your teeth with; for example to daily brush with Baking Soda would be too harsh. Use Crest with Cavity Protection. Do not use tooth paste with Tarter Control or for Sensitive teeth. These products will make the gum and teeth in a worse condition.

Answer 5

No, toothpaste is not abrasive enough to take enamel off. However, throwing up repeatedly or eating lemons regularly will.

Answer 6

WINNIE,
THE NORMAL CARE FOR YOUR TEETH WILL NEVER HARM ENAMEL. IT'S AS HARD AS GLASS, BUT VOMITING, DRINKING SODA WITH PHOSPHORIC ACID OR SUCKING ON PURE LEMONS WILL WEAR DOWN YOUR ENAMEL.
