A Weird Form Of Ocd?


Effervescence

Recommended Posts

I know that a lot of peeps with OCD wash too much--usually excessive hand-washing or spending hours bathing.

Has anyone ever heard of a kind of washing compulsion where the person brushes their teeth excessively instead of, say, doing the long bathing routine?

Am I just weird??? :wacko:

Do you brush your teeth so much your gums bleed, do you brush your teeth so much it stops you from functioning day to day?? If so it sounds like a problem, if not I would just put it down as lets say a quirky caracter trade and nothing to worry about.

Hi

Yes I have heard of peopel who ocd their teeth! What is weird and what is normal though??

I like lilly's approach, bottom line is does it cause you a problem. If you are concerned your dentist could advise you on what is healthy brushing.

I now use electric tooth brush as I was putting to much force on my teeth and striiping the enamel. This wasn't an ocd trait just not good tooth care.
