Healthy Teeth
All too often teeth become damaged due to using them improperly, such as for biting, prying or chewing on objects that are not food! In fact, how many of these potentially damaging practices do you regularly expose your teeth too?
Here are the top three!
- Crunch time-Using your teeth to break down hard objects, such as crunching on ice cubes, munching on hard candies or biting your fingernails to the quick!
- Opening up-Misusing teeth as a makeshift bottle opener or as a replacement for scissors to open packages and remove price tags!
- Chew chew chew-Using pens, pencils, toothpicks or other hard objects to chew on through the day, often while deep in thought and without realizing it!
We see costly (and painful!) broken teeth because of these habits! Replace your bad habits with sugar free gum or break the habit altogether! Hopefully the next time you are in our office, it is for a regular cleaning and not because you tried to open a bottle or tear a tag off without scissors!
