Common Myths about Dental Health and Hygiene

• Dental care often varies from person to person.
  Where some have great teeth with just the normal
  amount of care, others may need a lot more
  attention due to other factors that make their
  teeth vulnerable. However, among all these, most
  dental health myths are common.

• These myths can make people choose habits that
  cause more damage to their teeth. As your Chelsea
  Heights dentist would be sure to warn you, here
  are some of the common myths that need busting

1. Temporary toothache should not be a concern- 

• This is a very common myth that keeps people from
  visiting a dentist in time. If you have been
  experiencing a bad toothache that has suddenly
  stopped, it could mean that the nerve has been
  killed by the cavity in your tooth. Visiting your
  Chelsea Heights dentist at the earliest can help
  prevent irreparable nerve damage.

2. Oral health does not affect the rest of
your body-

• The mouth hosts a lot of bacteria that can be
  harmful or beneficial to you. Since harmful
  bacteria can enter your body through your mouth,
  not having a healthy dental routine can cause a
  number of diseases that are easily avoided with
  good oral health.

3. Braces are not an option when youre older- 

• Since dentists notice misaligned teeth among
  children at a young age, the misconception that
  braces are for children and teenagers has been
  rampant. There is no specific age to get your
  teeth aligned. And with options like invisalign
  that allow one to align their teeth without the
  need for metal wires, dental health has become
  more aesthetic.

4. Consuming copious amounts of sugar causes
cavities- 

• While sugar can lead to cavities, it is not a
  result of the amount of sugar consumed. However,
  if the sugar remains inside your mouth for long,
  the acid produced can eat away the enamel on your
  teeth. Brushing and flossing regularly can keep
  the bacteria from damaging your teeth and
  strengthen them.

• Your Chelsea Heights dentist can help you better
  understand the importance of dental care to
  ensure strong, healthy teeth.
