Overbrushing Your Teeth?

Brushing teeth with too much pressure or with a hard bristled toothbrush can harm your teeth and gums.

Here are few signs indicating you are brushing your teeth too hard:

• V shaped grooves in gum line. This is known as cervical abrasion.
• Sensitive teeth
• Toothbrush bristles fray quickly (lesser than every three months)
• Gum Recession (gums may recede and teeth will look longer)
• Teeth may look yellowish and discolored (enamel may have eroded)
