Oral and dental health is often overlooked by many people. However, without healthy teeth, we would not be able to chew food properly. Maintaining good oral hygiene and keeping the mouth clean at all times is essential. In fact, most dental problems are caused by daily eating habits and improper oral care practices.
1. Brushing Too Hard
If you believe that brushing your teeth aggressively will make them cleaner, it is time to stop. Brushing too hard or using a toothbrush with overly stiff bristles can damage tooth enamel, leading to tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. Over time, this may expose the dentin and result in worn or damaged teeth.
2. Misuse of Toothpicks
While toothpicks can help remove food debris between teeth, improper or excessive use can injure the gum tissue. This may cause gum irritation, inflammation, or even gum recession.
3. Chewing on Ice
Frequently biting or chewing ice can cause cracks or fractures in the teeth, potentially affecting the dental nerves. It can also damage tooth enamel and increase the risk of tooth sensitivity.
4. Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
Grinding teeth—whether during sleep or unconsciously during periods of stress—is harmful to oral health. Teeth grinding accelerates tooth wear and can lead to various dental problems, such as cracked teeth or jaw pain. If you grind your teeth at night without realizing it, consulting a dentist for a protective mouthguard is recommended to help prevent enamel erosion.
5. Drinking Too Little Water
When the body does not receive enough water, dehydration can occur, leading to reduced saliva production and dry mouth. A dry mouth increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Therefore, it is important to drink at least 8 glasses of water per day to support oral health.
