When i brush my teeth, the skin of my mouth peels off when i rub my tongue against my mouth. Should i be concerned or it is normal?
Hey there. No need to worry at all , this can happen to anyone when you brush your teeth with more than necessary force so all you have to do is to buy a tooth brush with soft bristles and brush your teeth with gentle force.
Dear concerned patient ideal would be to show this to dentist 1st to avoid anything serious
better get checked as not cleared how bad is problem

No the problem is not bad at all. It's painless and only peels off when i rub my tongue against my mouth otherwise it does not.

mucosal membrane (the inner cheek and gum skin) is a delicate structure, it can often peel due to excessive force of brushing. as long as it is painless there is nothing to worry about , however if you feel sensitivity during the consumption of spicy food or hot drinks then its better to get a checkup done.
please add in a dietary vitamin C source in your daily routine and have a look at some animated videos on "how to brush" as there might be some odd angle of brushing that is causing the peel off.

Well Maam, peeled off skin or gums are not good to maintain in mouth as they could be inflamed or fragile (weak), especially when doing brushing or chewing. You need to consult a dentist for its immediate consultation regarding the cause, symptoms (like pain, swelling, bleeding etc) and its relevant treatment options.

Its not normal, you should get yourself examined for this condition and if its not possible for a check up, initially you can shift to a Soft brush (colgate slim soft), issue would resolve, and if it persists, then go for a check up
kindly use a soft tooth brush, whose bristles are gentle on your oral mucosa( its the inner lining of the mouth). place the brush at 45degree angle and give circular motions.
