FAQ

Can I damage my teeth if I brush improperly?

Yes. Even though teeth are protected by a hard layer of enamel, they can become worn out from improper toothbrushing. Toothbrush abrasion can occur on the crown of the teeth as well as in the softer cementum that covers the tooth roots, which can be exposed by receding gums. These exposed surfaces can become more prone to decay. When you brush, be sure to use gentle, short, tooth-wide strokes.
