Answers:
You can really damage your teeth by overbrushing. It can cause damage to your gums, open up cracks in your teeth and lead to deep root damage.
You should brush a maximum of 3 times a day, as well as flossing every time you brush.
also, brushing your teeth involved brushing your upper and lower gums, but do not overbrush these either.Health Question & Answer

Yes, you can cause your gums to recede damaging the roots of your teeth. You should brush twice a day for at least two minutes. If you want to be really careful do a quick brush after each meal JUST to get any bits of food off your teeth.Health Question & Answer
