you could be doing damage to your teeth and gums by using highly abrasive toothpaste
Toothpaste abrasiveness is measured on the Relative Dentin Abrasivity (RDA) scale, which classifies levels as follows: low (0-70), medium (71-100), and high (101-150). Toothpastes with RDA values over 150 are considered very high and potentially harmful, and the lower the number, the less wear it causes on enamel and dentin.
also whitening toothpaste is quite bad for your teeth and you should never use it as it works by having additional abrasives in the paste that grind away at your teeth. it may remove some surface stains but it also chips away at your enamel
my toothpaste isn't on this list so you can always google for the rda value of yours to find out if it's hurting your teeth

my sister does something similar and she has AMAZING teeth
her routine is:
brush once with flouride paste
floss (helps get the flouride into all the nooks and crannies)
then she uses a mouthwash
then she brushes again for another flouride application
I think her routine is overkill, but I can't argue against her smile.
here is her teeth at 40 years old:

In addition to my regular toothpaste I use a fluoride-enhanced toothpaste (Fluoridex). It's not listed here but I checked its rda value elsewhere and it is 117. I see where that is "highly abrasive," but I'm not worried because I don't use it every day, plus I don't grind away with it when I brush. The important thing is to just get it on your teeth and get that extra fluoride applied to your enamel. The way to do it is to brush and rinse with plain water, then apply the Fluoridex.
