Is There Something Wrong With Your Teeth? Your
Habits Might Be Taking a Toll on Your Oral Health
and You Wont Know It

• We all love to smile and laugh out loud with
  family and friends and neighbours, but with
  healthy, sparkling white teeth. Dont you?
  Maintaining healthy teeth and oral hygiene is the
  key to not just the everlasting smiles but a
  healthier life.
• Yes, for you might not realise it and you must
  know, your oral health and hygiene has a lot to
  do with your overall wellness. Gum disease, a
  very common dental condition, is linked with the
  likes of heart disease, respiratory disease,
  osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes.

• While most of us do realise the importance
  maintaining dental health and indulge in a good
  oral care routine including daily brushing,
  flossing and regular dental visits, we often
  overlook our unhealthy habits, which is what
  implicitly influences our overall well-being.
• So, you do not just have to indulge in healthy
  oral care practices, but need to avoid those
  unhealthy ones to promote good general health.
  That said, here are five common yet bad habits
  most of us have and need to avoid right now.

Brushing Harder Wont Help

• Yes, if you were wondering being harder on your
  teeth while brushing is going to get them
  shinier, you need to rethink.
• Brushing harder doesnt get your teeth cleaner
  but leads to a number of problems like tooth
  sensitivity and gum irritation.
• Certified dentists in Halisham advise using a
  soft bristle brush and call brushing twice a day
  for 2 minutes a good dental practice.

Your Teeth Arent a Tool

• Using your teeth often to open a bottle or
  plastic bag or even chew your fingernails now is
  going to cost you a lot later.
• Our teeth are strong enough to crack, break and
  chew many hard things but going to an extreme can
  make you sit in dental clinics for hours too.

6
Just Dont Grind

• Clenching and grinding your teeth, most commonly
  done in your sleep, may leave you stressed and
  cause damage to your teeth.
• Mouth guard is a device that dentists recommend
  to protect your teeth from any injury and damage
  and prevent grinding.

Ice Crushing isnt Your Teeths Job

• If you have grown the habit of crushing and
  licking those chilled ice cubes, you must stop
  now.
• You might not realise, but the hard, cold thing
  is chipping and cracking your teeth and damaging
  your gums.

Its Your Teeth, For Gods Sake

• You grab a pin, clip or any sharp pointed object
  you see and start removing tiny food particles
  between your teeth.
• And then, you hurt your gums, damage your tooth
  enamel and sometimes widen the space between your
  teeth. If you must pick your teeth, use dental
  floss.
