The Trouble With Toothbrushing
W hen the dentist told Tina V alek
that her gum s w ere eroding near her
back teeth, the new s cam e as a
surprise to the 33 year-old. A fter a
lifetim e o f perfect dental checkups
w ith o u t a sin g le c a v ity , T in a
thought she w as doing all the right
things. So w hat w as the problem ?
She w as overbrushing applying
too m uch pressure and brushing
longer than necessary.
“ Y ou ’re not doing your teeth and
gum s any favors by brushing too
hardortoo long,” said Scott Navarro,
an oral health advisor for Delta Den
tal Plans Association. “O ver time,
improper brush i ng can dam age gums
and w ear down teeth."
B rushing too vigorously erodes
tooth structure and causes gum s to
recede, leading to sensitive teeth
and exposure o f the root area. Se
verely receded gum lines m ay re
quire gum grafts or other proce
dures to repair dam age caused by
long-term overbrushing.
“T alk to your dentist or hygien
ist, especially if you begin to expe
rience any pain or tooth sensitiv
ity,” said Dr. N avarro. “ H e o r she
can check out your technique and
let you know if y o u ’re applying the
right am ount o f pressure.”
