hi metal it is well known fact or say advice we must brush our teeth after every eating, if this can't be done eat some fruits or salads then drink plenty of water which cleans ur teeth naturally, brush twice at least. And depletion of your teeth depends on your brush type that is whether it is soft or hard according to what u think suits u, and of course ur brushing pattern, always brush in rotational directions, with light hands , an attempt to dig into ur teeth will naturally spoil ur teeth, Brushing is a process of 2,3 minutes, so take no longer.........

You should brush you teeth for minimum two times a day to prevent cavities. Yes, its true that brushing it too much may damage your teeth and that's why you should be careful not to rub it very harsh. Be soft and gentle while brushing your teeth as you don't want your mouth to bleed while brushing. Be sure to use a good brand of toothpaste not gel and use a good brush which is soft and doesn't have sharp edges which can cut you inside of your mouth. You can even brush after and before every meal but in that case you don't have to brush too much, just 30 - 60 secs of soft brushing will do.

Because I work from home, I get to brush my teeth 3 times a day. After I wake up, after lunch and before I go to bed. I will give my teeth an extra brushing if I eat biscuits or any sweet stuff in the day as well but that is very seldom. This is because I do not like stuff sticking on my teeth and the after taste is not pleasant
