Let's burst a dental myth! It's commonly believed that brushing your teeth harder and more frequently will result in cleaner teeth. However, this notion is far from the truth. In reality, aggressive brushing can have detrimental effects on your oral health.
When you brush your teeth too forcefully or with excessive pressure, you risk damaging the protective enamel layer that shields your teeth. Over time, this can lead to tooth sensitivity. Moreover, vigorous brushing can irritate and inflame your gums, potentially causing gum recession and increasing the likelihood of gum disease.
To ensure proper oral care, Dentists recommend using a soft-bristled toothbrush and applying gentle pressure while brushing. This allows the bristles to effectively remove plaque and food particles without being abrasive to your teeth and gums.
In addition to technique, the frequency of brushing is important. The recommended practice is to brush your teeth for two minutes, twice a day. This regimen allows for thorough cleaning without the risk of overbrushing. Brushing too frequently, especially immediately after consuming acidic foods or beverages, can actually weaken the enamel and make it more vulnerable to erosion.
