Does More Brushing Affect Teeth?

Everything has to be cleaned properly before it could be remarked well. The same thing is with our teeth that if we are not going to brush our teeth at least once a day can affect our teeth. But, in order to have healthy teeth, we need to brush our teeth at least twice a day. Now, why should we brush our teeth?

Whenever we eat something that is sweet or contains sugar, we have to gargle properly so as not to let it settle in the teeth of our mouth. If it settles in our mouth the various bacterias can lead to decay of the tooth (made of calcium hydroxyapatite and is the strongest part of our body) as it lowers the pH of our mouth below 5.7 which leads to its decaying. As our mouth has now become acidic, so we have to wash our mouth with something that is basic in nature. And the thing that we use is toothpaste. Brushing of teeth is good for our teeth but what will happen if we brush our teeth after every meal that we eat?

The answer to this question is that though brushing of teeth is a good thing if we are going to brush our teeth to a large extent then, it can itself cause tooth decay. It can lead to the removal of the outer layer of teeth and could lead to the corrosion of our teeth. So, I would suggest each and every one of you to brush your teeth twice a day regularly. Brushing is a good thing but it should not be done relentlessly. Even the experts suggest brushing our teeth only twice a day.
