is da bomb. Hmm, I wonder if anything bad will happen if I brush my teeth
too often . . .

i know you're probably joking, but it *is* possible to brush too often.
you can definitely damage your tooth enamel. my ex-husband used to get
scolded for brushing too hard; brushing too often is just as bad.

I've seen that advertised on American commercials and was wondering how it
tasted.

You are a very brave soul. I've looked at those new flavours and
wondered how they would be, but couldn't work up the nerve to try.
Maybe next tube.

I just got that lecture from my dentist. I'm an old broad - and my eye
teeth have grooves from brushing to hard. I've always used a hard
toothbrush, and now must use a soft one. Gawd...everything goes soft
with old age.

Well, the herbal mint was good, but I'm allergic to the cinnamon flavor.
It didn't do anything to the inside of my mouth, but left red splotches on
my chin where it dribbled.

Yes, I was joking. I wonder how much is "too much" though. I've been
eating 5 or 6 small meals a day instead of 2 or 3 big ones, so if I brush
after every small meal, I wonder if that would be too often.

Brushing twice a day for me is plenty and the rest of the time I just rinse
my mouth out with water and mouthwash
or chew a peice of sugarless gum after rinsing with water.
Also try to brush for more then 2 minutes. Some people just do it for a few
seconds and figure it is enough but it is not.

It seems like I brush for at least 2 minutes, but I will time myself next
time and find out for sure.

i would say yes. two or three times a day should be more than enough,
unless your metabolism is such that it produces plaque at an advanced
rate.

Too much brushing with a hard brush will errode the tissue at your gun
line where the teeth and tissue meet, then the tooth gets exposed too
much and you get sensitive teeth.

That's true. My dentist said one good brushing and flossing
a day for a few minutes is all you need to do. After any
other meals, just rinse your mouth out with water and floss.

I think most dentists recommend at least a soft, if not ultra-soft
brush, to prevent excess enamel wear.

I think you're right...but a harder-bristled brush is so much more
satisfying to brush with, IMO. Really feels like you're attackin' the
plaque. But I follow my dentist's recommendation and brush with a soft
brush, anyway.

That's not really an allergy. Cinnamon toothpaste does that to me too,
becuse it's acidic. I once wanted to mix cinnamon and rose essential
oils for perfume and was warned explicitly about this. Cinnamon oil is
something that most people should use in moderation.

That is why I use a medium bristled brush.
Presently I am actually considering buying one of those Sonic-care
toothbrushes
as an early birthday gift to myself.

That cinnamon toothpaste reminds me of the
little cinnamon hearts that are out at Valentine's Day.
