Toothbrush Abrasion

Too much of a good thing.

Are you brushing your teeth too hard or for too long with a hard toothbrush? You may actually be causing a dental condition known as “toothbrush abrasion”.

Toothbrush abrasion can compromise the structure and strength of your teeth, as the outer hard shell (enamel) of the tooth is abraded (brushed) away overtime, exposing the softer deeper layer of a tooth (dentine), Dentine is much more susceptible to decay, sensitivity and further abrasion.
