4 Bad Dental Habits You Should Break

Do you go to the dentist every six months, brush your teeth
every day and also use mouthwash and dental floss? However, are you feeling
frustrated because, even so, your teeth grind and deteriorate with each passing
day? This is probably because of some bad dental habits you should break. The sedation dentistry Denver
offices
have had clients that require extensive dental work due to some of these bad habits.
1. Nail biting
People who do not have dental problems and on both sides, will grind their teeth evenly; on the other hand, those who have bad dental habits end up deforming their teeth. Other similar problems appear in stressed individuals, who end up putting various objects in their mouths: pencils, pen caps, toothpicks, glasses arms etc. These negative habits have slow effects, but if maintained consistently, they may certainly cause problems.
2. Eating after brushing your teeth, in the evening
During the night, we only produce 15% of the amount of saliva we produce during the day, so the mouth becomes a favorable environment for cavities.
3. Breathing through the mouth
This can be a simple habit or a pathological problem in the respiratory system (septal deviations, anatomical problems etc.). It causes the dry mouth symptom, and the oral environment becomes conductive to the appearance of cavities.
4. Using the wrong toothbrush
Make sure you buy a soft or very soft toothbrush to reduce tooth and gum damage. Additionally, know that doctors recommend changing your toothbrush every three months to prevent bacteria.
