Oral fixation gives teeth the brush

M y name is Dianne, and I'm a toothpaste abuser. Looking back, I realize now that I've been a toothpaste abuser for years.

Over-brushing can lead to tooth erosion which can lead to cavities. Also, when fluoridated toothpaste is used, too much fluoride could be ingested causing arthritic-like symptoms.
