How much is 2 much in terms of taking care of ur teeth?

I brush and floss even if I just drink juice or eat a snack. I do this also after normal meals. I do not have OCD and just want the best 4 my teeth, as I think I may b prone 2 cavities. Am I going overboard w/ all of this?

Answers:
Yes..Flossing once a day and brushing two or three times is good enough. No need to do it after everything you eat and drink. You will wear down the enamal of your teeth and that will cause you to get cavaties. Just cut down your care and you'll be fine.

I would say good gob and keep up the good work!!

However, over-brushing and improper brushing technique together can cause tooth abrasion which leads to wearing away of tooth mineral from the hard enamel surfaces of teeth and therefore, tooth sensitivities.

So, what can you do about it?
1. The brush should be soft nylon.
2. VERY IMPORTANT!! --> you need to have a proper brushing techniques! When brushing, apply medium pressure at a 45 degree angle. Try this link:
