At Vista Dental, we encourage patients to get excited about maintaining their oral hygiene. However, we don’t want you to get so excited that you brush your teeth away. Toothbrush abrasion, also known as toothbrush damage, can damage the teeth and gums that result from excessive brushing force. Brushing too hard can wreak havoc on your teeth and gums. Allow us to explain why.
Brushing too hard can lead to tooth sensitivity and will cause more harm than good. If you have made brushing vigorously a habit, our doctors encourage you to at least try to brush a little softer because if you don’t, the gums may permanently recede. When this happens, the roots become exposed and are increasing your risk of developing dental diseases such as periodontal disease and cavities.
If you have questions or concerns about a oral care, please give us a call. To learn about services we provide at the practice, visit www.vistadentalmh.ca for more information. To schedule an appointment with one of our doctors at Vista Dental located at 7 Strachan Bay SE, Medicine Hat, AB, T1B 4Y2, Canada, call 403-548-7077.
