A member asked:
If i brush my teeth all day would there will be no bad consequences to that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Consequences: You can do damage with a hard toothbrush, or brushing too often, too hard or too vigorously. You can irritate your gums and wear away your teeth. Brushing and flossing for 2 minutes total after every meal is fine.
