A dentist is the best person to ask this question to. Why? Because they can inform you of exactly what is wrong, and right, with your teeth. And then they can tell you how to improve the situation.
For the healthiest mouth possible, you should be having check-ups regularly every six months. Your dentist will be able to check for cavities (and fix them), discuss any pain or sensitivity with you, etc.
Brushing your teeth too much can actually hurt your gums and not be the best thing for your teeth. Brushing twice a day, and flossing, are the recommended route to healthy teeth and gums.
