hello everyone!
just curous: if I am washing my teeth too much? here is my story: I wash my teeth as many times as I eat something... for example: after I eat something - i go to wash my teeth. so I guees it would be about 4-6 times per day. when I wash my teeth I wash them two or three times in a row: once with pasta that whitens my teeth, then with pasta that protects my teeth and finally with pasta that strenghtens my gums.
so its not too much? I dont wanna get any negative consequence...
 
I'm not a dentist but I am pretty sure that's to much? I think 3 times a day is adequate?
 
Way too much, three times a day is plenty and use just one toothpaste, with fluoride in it, that you like the taste of. And floss once a day, after a dental hygienist has shown you how to do it safely.

Don't be conned by the marketing blurb!
 
Why is he washing his teeth with pasta?

I think he means paste, got the spelling wrong, although if they did invent pasta that cleaned your teth while you eat, i'd be in heaven, can't beat good old Spaghetti 8-)
 
Well, don't I feel like a complete idiot.

Paste, lol.
