I brush my teeth 4 times a day, but they never get white, or close to white. Cold things that I eat (like Ice Cream) hurts my teeth, and even hard things like apples hurts my teeth. I don't know why..
And please note, I have never dropped a tooth.
Please, help me.

WHOA! O_O

Also, brushing excessively can scrape the enamel off. And if you don't have a choice with brushing less, you can try to get a toothbrush with softer bristles! This may help.


Hmm, okay, thanks. =)

@Strop: Same here. . . .

I brush once a day, and I forget sometimes, lol. But my teeth are in amazing condition. . .unless you count that I've had like 3 dental surgeries from extra permanent teeth growing in. . .I've had 5 total extra ones.

WHAT THE HECK
Doing what to a cat????
Also, you can brush your face 4 times a day if u want to.. theres not a magic rule that says if u brush your teeth more then twice a day you'll explode...

Use peroxide to whiten your teeth. Mix with equal amounts of water, and gargle or whatever. Dont brush your teeth so often. 3 TIMES A DAY, baking soda once a week, use sensodyne toothpaste. You are wearing down your teeth by over brushing, probably exposing the dentin. Thats why they are sensitive to cold. And you will eventually get receded gum lines.
