Dental health can be affected by a number of factors, including heredity and environmental factors.
However, people themselves often destroy what they received from nature.
In a conversation with aif.ru, dentist Victoria Sheludkova listed the bad habits that are killing our teeth.
The doctor named bad habits as the main causes of tooth decay. Smoking and drinking alcohol affect not only the condition of internal organs, but also our smile.
In particular, smoking increases the risk of periodontal disease and is one of the causes of oral cancer.
Alcohol disrupts liver function, which is why calcium is absorbed much worse.
The condition of teeth is also worsened by the abuse of sweets, which destroy enamel and contribute to the development of caries.
Sheludkova warned about the danger of using teeth for other purposes. She urged not to crack hard nut shells, not to bite off threads and not to bite nails to avoid deformation of teeth.
