Oral health is much more than

brushing

Oral health and hygiene is much more than brushing, flossing and regular dental

visits. What you eat, what you do, basically your lifestyle including many of your

habits have a direct impact on your dental health.

Unfortunately, your teeth can’t talk and tell you what’s wrong with your habits or

what they do or don’t want you to eat.

But experts can we reached out to oral health professionals to find out common

things people do that can ruin their teeth, gums and overall oral health.

Let’s familiarize with those habits your teeth want you to quit right away.

Using Your Teeth As A Tool

So, you twist off caps of your soda bottles and tear open bags of potato chips with

your teeth because searching for a bottle opener or a pair of scissors can take a lot

of your time.

You need to stop doing that. No matter how strong and healthy your teeth, using

them to open bottles or rip open packages or bags can potentially crack or fracture

a tooth and cause teeth pain.

Getting Your Tongue And Lips

Pierced

It may be tempting to get your lips and tongue pierce because it’s the coolest trend

and you’re young and everybody your age is doing that.

What most young people wanting to get pierced aren’t aware of is that lip and

mouth piercings can cause complications like swelling, bleeding, bruising and

mouth infections.

They can also cause chronic damage to adjacent teeth including tooth fracture,

gum recession and eventually tooth loss.

Avoiding Wearing A Mouth Guard

During Sports

Many people, particularly the fashion concerned, avoid using a mouth guard during

sports as they are worried about their appearance.

Wearing a mouth guard during sports that have the potential for mouth injury is

inevitable not just for professional athletes but any individual indulging in sports.

You might not look too cool with a mouth guard on but you would definitely

protect yourself from many dental injuries and accidents that can harm your teeth

as well as your appearance.
