I think I am becoming obsessed with brushing my teeth. And if I'm not brushing my teeth it is my hair.
Is this a bad thing?????

How often are you brushing? I mean a few times a day, no big deal, 5 or more times a day of brushing your teeth might be cause for a little concern, but at least you are obsessed with s/thing that is good for you. If nothing else, you won't ahve to worry about your teeth and gums when you get older!!

It could become one - how hard are you scrubbing your teeth (or more to the point your gums), what product are you using, and how often are you brushing?
It might become a problem if your gums start to react, or if you're brushing til your gums bleed.
It might also become a problem, if the cause of your obsession if a stress of some kind, from another part of your life and the obsessive brushing is making you not deal with it.
Hair brushing shouldn't be so bad, but again it depends on how "violent" you are with the brushing.
Try and figure out if there's any underlying stresses and if you can deal with them. Is there something going on your life right now that may be causing you anxiety?

How long has this been going on?
We all become obsessed with something once in a while but it usually fades after a while
Edit: Since it's been going on for a week or 2, I wouldn't worry just yet. If this goes on for months, then I'd start worrying.

As long as you look after your teeth and hair its good practice.
