If i brush my teeth hard and gums recede, will my teeth fall out??
Answers: Of course. Just imagine your teeth as a shoe. Long period of wear and tear will cause the base of your shoes to be thinned out and eventually you can't wear them anymore. It's the same case for your teeth. If you brush too hard, you can brush away the gums. And it is IRREVERSIBLE. You can't get 'new' gums back.
Your gums are like a jacket to the tooth. Once stripped of the 'jacket', your tooth becomes mobile and eventually fall out or pulled out. Take good care of your gums.
Choose a toothbrush with soft bristles, or better still, use an electronic toothbrush so you won't need to apply pressure. Remember! You are not scrubbing the floor, you are brushing your teeth! =)
Yep, they sure will. Your not supposed to brush your teeth that hard. Try using a medium grade toothbrush instead.
most probably you will feel your gums bleeding and later your exposed teeth roots will have decay and they will rot...if you don't take care of this problem you will have to pull out all your rotten teeth
