Washington, United States - March 8, 2023 /PressCable/ —

Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial for healthy teeth and gums. Inner Banks Dental has published a new post on what patients should avoid. While brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups are vital components of oral care, many people unknowingly engage in bad dental habits that can have detrimental effects on their oral health. According to Inner Banks Dental, here are some everyday activities to avoid when it comes to teeth.

Using teeth as tools: Teeth are not designed to perform tasks other than eating. Using them to open packages or bottles, bite nails, or hold things can result in chipped or cracked teeth and jaw injuries. Carry a small pair of scissors or other appropriate tools to avoid using teeth as a substitute.

Chewing ice: While it may seem harmless, chewing on ice can cause tiny cracks in teeth, leading to tooth sensitivity, decay, and even tooth fractures. Instead, limit the amount of ice in drinks, use crushed ice, or try sugar-free chewing gum to satisfy the urge to chew.

Clenching and grinding: Bruxism or teeth grinding is a common condition that can result in headaches, jaw pain, and damage to the teeth. Talk to a dentist if unsure about this condition, as they can create a customized nightguard that can help protect teeth from the harmful effects of clenching and grinding.

Other habits that can help promote good oral health include brushing regularly with a medium-hardness bristle brush, flossing, using mouthwash, and avoiding tobacco. Limiting sugar intake, visiting the dentist regularly, and encouraging children to practice good oral hygiene can also help prevent cavities and gum disease.

In conclusion, taking care of teeth is essential for maintaining good oral health. By avoiding bad dental habits and adopting good ones, patients can keep their teeth and gums healthy and prevent dental problems. Don't hesitate to contact Inner Banks Dental when struggling with bad dental habits or need advice on improving oral health.
