Many habits that seem harmless to us are actually destructive.
Dental health is built not only by following hygiene rules, but also by avoiding some of our usual actions.
Let's figure out which habits are harmful to teeth.
What spoils teeth
Do you like to chew on the end of a pen or open packages with your teeth? Then get rid of this bad habit immediately.
Chewing on hard foods damages the structure of the tooth, which can ultimately lead to enamel wear and the appearance of cracks and chips in the teeth.
The second habit is drinking carbonated drinks, primarily sweet water. If you drink them constantly, the enamel of your teeth will gradually become thinner.
Another habit that affects teeth is smoking. Tobacco smoke irritates the mucous membrane and can cause serious oral diseases, including periodontitis.
Frequent snacking is also dangerous. It results in significantly less saliva being released in the mouth than during a full meal. Because of this, pieces of food get stuck between the teeth, which leads to plaque and more intensive development of caries.
