“Oral and dental health” is a matter that many people overlook. Remember that without “teeth,” we cannot chew food. It is essential to take care of our oral health by keeping our mouths clean at all times. The majority of dental problems arise from eating habits and direct oral and dental care!

  • Brushing too hard leads to damage
    If you think that brushing your teeth vigorously will make them cleaner, we urge you to stop immediately! Brushing your teeth too hard or using toothbrushes that are too hard will damage the enamel, causing tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. It can also expose the dentin, leading to worn-out and damaged teeth.
  • Toothpick misuse
    It is true that toothpicks can clean the gaps between teeth, but using them incorrectly can damage gum tissue, leading to gum irritation or inflammation.
  • Chewing on ice
    Frequently biting or chewing on ice can cause teeth to crack, posing a risk to the nerve system in the tooth roots. Additionally, it damages the tooth enamel and increases the chances of tooth sensitivity.
  • Teeth grinding
    Whether it’s grinding teeth during sleep or unconsciously grinding them during stressful periods, it is entirely harmful to teeth. Grinding teeth will accelerate tooth wear, resulting in other dental problems. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid teeth grinding. However, if you grind your teeth unknowingly during sleep, it is recommended to consult a dentist to use a protective device that reduces tooth enamel erosion.
  • Drinking little water and avoiding water

Whenever the body does not receive sufficient water, it can lead to dehydration, resulting in reduced saliva production and a dry mouth. Dry mouth increases the chances of tooth decay. Therefore, it is essential to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.
