The general recommendation is that we brush our teeth twice a day for two minutes at a time but that recommendation comes with a caution about brushing too hard. One of the major goals in the maintenance of our oral health is to preserve the outer layer of enamel that covers our teeth and protects from the infection of disease; applying too much pressure while brushing will over time contribute to its deterioration. Ask your dental hygienist about what more you can do to maintain the protective quality of your tooth enamel.
