 5 bad dental habits you can change

• We all have certain habits but did you know that
  some of them can be menacing for our health?
• The repetitive actions become habits at the time
  we are undergoing some sort of stress or anxious
  state of mind.

Here are few bad habits that people should change
ti avoid severe damage to their oral health.
Say goodbye to old thumb sucking habit

• Thumb sucking is considered to be a nutritive and
  rhythmic process, but there is non-nutritive
  sucking which causes harm to oral health.
• From early childhood or infantile phase, a child
  starts sucking their thumb which helps them get
  used to the environment.
• However, children often do not tend to leave the
  habit behind even as they grow up.
• Due to this forceful sucking habit, their mouth
  comes in contact with germs and bacteria which
  leads to tooth and gum infections.

Bite food, not nails

• When a child reaches 3 or 4 years, the habit of
  thumb sucking reduces and they take up a new
  pattern of nail-biting.
• This practice is widely seen in the adults who
  consciously or unconsciously bite their nails
  while undergoing a state of anxiety or disturbing
  situation.
• With continuous nail-biting, both children and
  adults take a considerable amount of germs as
  fingernails are often exposed to the outside
  environment filled with germs and harmful
  bacteria.

5
Chew your food thoroughly, not your lips

• Like the habit of biting nails or sucking thumb,
  chewing on the lip is caused due to dwelling on
  uncomfortable situations or stress. People, out
  of anxiety, tend to chew their lower lip, and
  this in turn leads to tongue thrust.

6
Suck ice, not arms

• Children, while growing up, take up the habit of
  sucking their arms.
• This is one of the prime causes of malocclusion.
• Malocclusion due to arm sucking can take a severe
  turn.
• Dentist India has observed that children had to
  endure retainers for this.

7
Not cleaning your mouth enough

• Amidst your busy life, you often do not floss or
  forget to brush your teeth twice a day. However,
  this is harming your oral health extensively.
• After consuming foods, it is a must to clean your
  mouth thoroughly and floss and brush your teeth
  before going to bed at night.
• The food particles may get stuck between your
  teeth and brushing cannot remove all the food
  debris and in this case, flossing helps a lot.
• We all have undertaken these habits at some point
  in life.
• However, if you still follow any of these, then
  you need to quit them now as you can face the
  severe consequences of malocclusion.
• Another factor that sets dental clinics in India
  apart from the rest is that kind of machinery
  that dentists use.
