There is no point in over brushing your teeth as it will make no difference to how white you can get them. Most peoples ';natural'; teeth are not Hollywood white. It can damage your teeth to over brush too. Nothing wrong with 3 times a day but not for 5 mins, the most important brush of the day is the one before bed and this should be done for 2 or 3 mins I think. The morning brush doesn't actually have much use in protecting teeth it's more for social courtesy!!





Sorry but comment below is inaccurate, it is more important to brush your teeth at night (ask a dentist)!How often should i brush my teeth if i want to make them whiter? Is ther a limt to how many times i shud brush?
Brushing your teeth isn't going to make them whiter. It just rids them of bacteria. Regardless, you should be brushing your teeth twice a day: once in the morning, once at night. It is though that it is more important brushing your teeth in the morning because bacteria collects much more easily because your mouth is moist; if you sleep with your mouth open it makes you more prone to gathering bacteria from the air. Technically you don't have to brush your teeth at night because what we drink during the day gradually washes off some of the gunk that we ate. Plus, overbrushing can cause your gums to bleed.





If you want to make your teeth whiter, don't invest in whitening strips. They make your gums sensitive and cost way more than they should. Use hydrogen peroxide. Mix a capful with mouthwash and swish it in your mouth for a few minutes. It's cheaper and doesn't cause sensitivity. Plus, peroxide is the main whitening ingredient in whitening strips.
