Some signs that you are brushing your teeth too hard

It is essential to brush your teeth twice a day for good oral health.

However, applying too much pressure to your teeth will not whiten them or keep them healthy - in fact, aggressive brushing can damage your gums and even damage your enamel.

If you notice these signs, you are brushing your teeth incorrectly:

  • A new toothbrush that has worn out in a few days or weeks;
  • The gum line is receding, indented, as if it has been pushed too far away from the tooth;
  • Increased sensitivity in the tooth;
  • Bleeding when brushing;
  • The tooth has changed color and looks dry.
