How long do you spend cleaning your teeth in the mornings and at night?
I never used to brush my teeth at night as i didnt really see the point in it but lately i have been.
I spend about 15 mins each time.
First i use regular whitening toothpaste, then i use a special smokers stain remover tooth powder, and then after i have rinced and done my tongue i put on this whitening tooth gel.

Is what im doing bad for my teeth in anyway?
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    yes, you dont need all that stuff, its too abrasive especially since you are using so many products. You run the risk of wearing away the enamel on your teeth, which would make them more discoloured in the long term, and would make your teeth sensitive. They cant replace tooth enamel you know.

    It's called being obsessive and can cause more harm than good in the end.
    You should rather concentrate on brushing teeth at least twice aa day for a couple of minutes each time.

    I usually have to brush my teeth more than twice a day becasue I have a brace and food really gets stuck in them which is gross however I only spend about 3 mins doing them.
