Health Tip: Avoid Damaging Teeth
By LadyLively on November 7, 2016
Brushing and flossing are frequently touted as ways to keep your teeth healthy, but there also are habits that you should avoid to keep your pearly whites in tip-top shape.
The American Dental Association recommends:
- Don’t bite nails, which can harm your jaw and chip your teeth.
- Don’t brush your teeth too vigorously, which can damage teeth and gums. Brush gently with a
soft-bristled brush. - Avoid clenching and grinding your teeth, which can lead to jaw pain and cracks in the teeth.
- Don’t crunch or chew ice, which can break a tooth.
- Avoid snacking all day, especially on sugary foods.
