Overbrushing and Harsh Dental Products

Brushing your teeth too hard or using abrasive toothpaste can wear down enamel. Many people think scrubbing harder means cleaner teeth, but it actually causes damage. Whitening products, especially those with strong chemicals, can also thin enamel. If you notice transparency along the edges of your teeth, consider switching to a gentler toothpaste and using a soft-bristled brush.
