I may be brushing too much
Brushing my teeth six times a day
I brush my teeth after every meal and every time I eat a snack. Sometimes I just brush my teeth because they do not feel clean to me. I know I may be brushing my teeth too much but I can not seem to help it. Can brushing a lot like a do be bad for my teeth?

Well they do advise that you should brush your teeth after each meal and in between snacks. It just most people do not brush all that much so it advise to at lease brush two times day.
Is six times a lot within one day. Could be depending on how long your are brushing for. If you are only doing a quick brushing after eating your snacks then I do not see too much wrong with it.

Although brushing your teeth is very good and important part of our oral hygiene, brushing to much for to long each day is not good.
You do not want to brush so much that you make your gums raw. Nor do you want to brush so much that you wear down your tooth enamel. I would suggest that you try to cut down the brushing to three to four times a day if you must brush so much.
