school help: I have an obsession on brushing my teeth and using mouthwash - Help.com

Yikes!! If you brush too much you’ll wear away the enamel! be carefulllllll….

Your teeth must be really clean. o:
But as steff said, beware of that enamel. o-o

Get a sonic care and do it twice a day. Keeps my teeth so clean my dentist doesn’t even schedule me for cleanings anymore:):)

i used to bring my tooth paste and tooth brush to school too.

but yeah, you really need to be careful, you could wear down the enamel and then you’d get cavities.

maybe when you go to brush, brush very very lightly and use the mouth wash. or when you get the urge to brush, floss in stead and use the mouth wash

or maybe you’re OCD? seriously…

Sounds like you may have a psychological problem. You could consider talking to a doctor or researching this further first (because some doctors will either jump to a conclusion or dismiss you right away). It could be OCD, but it could be that brushing your teeth has somehow become like a security blanket for you. I suppose a big question is do you have other obsessions or compulsions?

In my opinion you should see someone who is qualified to evaluate your condition, such as a psychiatrist or a doctor (who would probably give you a reference). I don’t know how neurotic exactly you are, but I think the fact that you see it as a problem is a sign that it has gotten out of control, and is having a negative impact.
