The only damage that I've ever read about re: over-brushing has been enamel damage caused by abrasives in toothpaste. The bristles of the brush should be much softer than enamel.
- npsimons 13y agoMy dentist had to fill in spots near my gums on my upper molars that were worn down; I seem to remember him telling me not to brush so hard.

- tripzilch 13y agoI don't doubt you, but that might also have been advice for after the filling perhaps? The stuff they fill it with is not nearly as hard as the stuff on the outside of your teeth (which is pretty damn hard). So a filling will always be a weak spot.
