Naughty Dental Behaviors

Here we introduce some of the common naughty dental behaviors which done by us in daily basis !!!

Using a hard-bristled toothbrush.

 Not only can brushing with bristles that are too hard be painful, it can also wear away the gums and erode tooth enamel at the gumline.

 Not flossing daily, or flossing incorrectly.

Even if you’re flossing every day as recommended, it won’t do much good if your technique is off.

Not wearing a mouth guard while playing sports.

Without the protection offered by a mouthguard, you and your sporty friends are more likely to suffer from lacerations, bruises and chipped or lost teeth.

Sharing utensils, particularly with infants and toddlers.

Everyday activities such as sharing utensils, tasting each other’s food or washing a pacifier off in your mouth may seem harmless, but they can actually pass bad bacteria from one mouth to another  including bacteria that cause cavities.

Grinding teeth, also known as bruxism.

Over time, this painful habit can wear down teeth and may even cause fractures, not to mention disrupting loved ones’ sleep!
