Dearly beloved. I understand. You mean well. I mean, you just want your mouth to be clean and fresh so people don't remember to touch their noses only when you are speaking to them. I get.

So you buy toothbrushes hard enough to scrub car tyres. And when you brush, you use all the force in the world as though it is Jeans you are scrubbing. Your motives are good. Honestly. But you see the way you are going about this thing, e no make am.

There's something you may not know about your teeth. You see, the part of your teeth that shows in your mouth, what dentists call the CROWN, is made, in part, of two strong tissues. The one we see outside is called the Enamel. Na hard guy. No feelings.

Just underneath the Enamel, there's the Dentine. Because of its make up, na sensitive guy. All touchy feely. What happens when you brush your teeth as though you won't brush again till you leave the earth is that you gradually begin to wear down the hard guy, the Enamel.

Eventually hard guy will finish, then the Dentine will become exposed. Your teeth will now begin to catch feelings. They become sensitive. You take cold water, them go shock you. You can't even fellowship properly anymore with Coldstone.

And it's all your fault.

Let's not even talk about the fact that brushing like that will destroy your gum. And begin to show us parts of your teeth we don't want to see.

Darling. Please calm down. Gra gra only makes things worse as far as your teeth are concerned.

If you are reading this and you can relate, here's what you need to do.

1. Repent. You hear? Change your mindset. Stop what you are doing

2. That your hard brush. Throw it away. Today today. Or use it to be washing your car tyre or jeans. Or whatever. Just separate it from your mouth forever.

3. Buy a toothbrush with soft bristles. What you are cleaning from your teeth, called Dental plaque is really soft. Softer bristles will do the job well without the possibility of harm to your teeth and gums.

4. Brush properly. Use your brush in such a way that you can brush your teeth in up and down strokes with a circular motion, instead of brushing side to side. Remember to brush all surfaces too. Some of us brush only the front. The insides nko? No forget them too.

5. Be gentle. You are not the Hulk. This is not an Avengers movie. Your mouth is not Loki. I could go on and on. Using a lot of force while brushing contributes to tooth wear. Just calm down dear. Some even brush till the start retching and coughing. Is life war?

7. Finally. If you already have tooth wear and it's attendant symptoms. Go and see a dentist. Shey you hear. That's why we went to school. Don't go to Oroki herbal mixture sellers. You will be scammed.

E go be. Thanks for reading.
