I just read something that someone else posted that made me wonder if i had an ocd as well.
When it comes to brushing my teeth they never feel clean, therefore i brush my teeth at least 5 times a day. Even if i hadnt eaten anything i brush them just because. Am i a freak or is this an ocd?
p.s even though im brushing them constantly they're still a little yellow its nasty. ive tried teeth whitening products but they dont seem to work. should i get the professionally whitened? if so how much do they cost?
sorry its long :[
But i rate 5's :] (link)

Everyone has some litle obsessive quirk - brushing their teeth too much, worrying they left the iron on, doublechecking the locks on doors a few extra times. This doesn't mean these people have a disorder.
You're normal, with one little quirk. And as far as quirks go, at least yours is a healthy one!
It seems you are very worried about your teeth. Why not ask your dentist about your teeth the next time you see her/him - find out if your teeth are as yellowed as you think, or if you actually match up with most of the population. If your dentist feels you might need professional whitening, they can give you all sorts of information - prices, options, pros/cons.
One thing my hygenist once said to me is that nobody looks at our pores/teeth/etc as closely as we do - so while something might seem like a really big deal to us, in reality no one else probably notices.
If you want whiter teeth for you, fabulous. Go talk to your dentist!
Best of luck.
