A member asked:
Can pressure from brushing behind the front teeth flare them out over time?

See your dentist: It is not normal to have any pressure while brushing your teeth. If you don't take care of your teeth and properly manage your oral health, you may find yourself spending thousands of dollars in restorative dental care. See your dentist for preventive dental care.
