Hi Timothy
This is a question that I have asked myself, as I too have heard that if your are to vigorous or use the wrong products it can damaged the enamel of the teeth and cause all kinds of trouble. I think that the best thing should always be to have the teeth professionally cleaned by a dentist or hygienist so that you can be sure that the teeth are not being harmed by over vigorous cleaning. I believe that some of the over the counter cleaning solutions and perhaps more especially the whitening solutions can cause a lot of damage and make it very expensive to get thing put right. Bearing that in mind it probably is worth the expense of professional cleaning and perhaps at the same time you could have a word with the dentist or hygienist and ask what they would recommend as an over the counter cleaner for the teeth that will not do any harm. Let me know if you find something good!
