What Do Most People Get Wrong With Regards To Oral Health?


Posted on 3/7/2022 by Fern Creek Dentistry
What Do Most People Get Wrong With Regards To Oral Health?How are your teeth doing? It's about time you started taking care of them, right? While brushing and flossing daily will keep your teeth healthy, there are other things you can do as well that will help your oral health be as good as it can be. Whether you already have problems with tooth decay or not, it's always best to think ahead and make sure that you're doing everything you can to avoid future issues.

Brushing too hard.


One of the most common mistakes that many people make when it comes to oral health is brushing too hard. Brushing too hard can wear down your tooth enamel, which can cause teeth sensitivity and cavities in extreme cases.

Not brushing often enough.


If you're not brushing your teeth properly, you're leaving plaque and bacteria to build up. This can lead to tooth decay, cavities, gum disease and more.

Not drinking enough water.


Drinking enough water is one of the easiest ways to improve your oral health. Not only does it help wash away food particles, but also helps maintain a neutral pH in your mouth, which prevents bacteria from adhering to teeth. It's hard to brush and floss every tooth surface all day long, but drinking lots of water helps give you that extra cleansing power you need.

Using mouthwash that destroys teeth.


Using mouthwash is a good way to keep your breath smelling fresh, but there are many on the market that contain chemicals that can actually hurt your teeth. Look for mouthwash that doesn't contain harmful chemicals, or better yet just use water.

Chewing excessively on a chipped tooth.


Chewing too hard on a chipped tooth can cause it to break, which will lead to pain and potential further damage. It's much better to get your chipped tooth checked out by a dentist before causing even more damage! And many more, oral should be observed by all people. Call us today for more insights.
