You need to quit these habits immediately if you don't want to ruin your teeth.

Below are harmful habits that many people have when brushing their teeth, so you need to change them immediately if you don't want your teeth to be damaged.

Wet your toothbrush before brushing your teeth:Almost everyone has the habit of dipping their toothbrush in water. When you dip your toothbrush in water, the ingredients in the toothpaste will become thinner when you brush and its effectiveness will be reduced. Therefore, remember to keep your toothbrush dry before brushing your teeth. And do not rinse your mouth too thoroughly after brushing your teeth.

Brushing too hard:It seems that most of us just think that brushing our teeth hard will remove all the bacteria on our teeth, but we don't know that doing so will damage our tooth enamel or gums and even put us at risk of gum recession.

Try to brush your teeth for 2-3 minutes.

Brushing teeth too fast:If you brush your teeth too fast, you are also destroying your teeth every day. Dentists recommend trying to clean your teeth for 2-3 minutes.

Not changing your toothbrush regularly:A worn toothbrush will not be able to remove bacteria thoroughly. Meanwhile, according to many studies, each toothbrush has on average 10 million bacteria, 200,000 times more than a toilet seat. Therefore, on average, you should throw away your toothbrush once every 3 months, even sooner if the brush shows signs of fraying or wear.

Use a lot of toothpaste:If you brush your teeth with too much toothpaste, the ingredients in toothpaste - mainly zinc compounds - can disrupt the balance of beneficial substances in the body, leading to neurological disorders.
