7 HABITS ...THAT ARE HARMFUL FOR YOUR TEETH

1.NAIL BITING

 Nail biting may be a little less common these days but I still see it quite often. It can cause teeth and fillings to chip off and can also cause wearing off of enamel.


POSSIBLE SOLUTION:- 
Paint the nails with a bitter taste polish. 

2. ACIDIC DRINKS

 Cold drinks and other aerated drinks that is more common than milk or any other liquid in between adults is the main cause that led to wearing off of enamel surface. This helps in decaying process. The sugar content that is too high in it promotes decay.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION :-
Avoid these drinks, have some water through out the day at intervals. Avoid drinking aerated drinks, if must, sip by sip instead drink it in one go and rinse after that to remove acids.

3.ICE CUBE CHEWING
Chewing on any ice cube will not make you "RAMBO."Teeth are meant for chewing but not ice cubes.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION :-
Avoid eating ice cubes.

4. BRUSHING TOO HARD

Brushing too hard can lead to wearing off enamel surface. It creates a notch between teeth margin and gum line causing sensitivity and pain also.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION :-
Use a medium or soft tooth brush. Avoid using it too hard. Its not the physical force that removes plaque, its the technique. Use it in circular motion at an 45 degree angle to teeth and gums. If you cannot control the amount of force, use a electric toothbrush instead.

5. GRINDING AND CLENCHING

Some thing are beyond control. Often patient has a habit of clenching teeth while sleeping. Well one cannot help it after one falls asleep but a "dentist in rohini" like us can definitely help. It can also lead to muscle stiffness or pain.And in extreme cases may also cause joint dysfunction.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION :-
Night guard can help you. visit a "dental clinic in rohini" and you can get it easily fabricated. It helps keeping teeth apart at night.

6. REGULAR SNACKS

Snacks often are rich in carbohydrates that favors the bacteria to act and cause cavities. Avoid frequent snacking.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION:-
Avoid these habits. if you have to eat then nuts are the best solution.

7.USING  TEETH AS TOOLS

Opening up BEER bottles with teeth doesnot sounds good or feels good to your teeth. Teeth are meant for other functions. let them do that only.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION :-
Get a Bottle opener instead.

Have you ever wondered when you wake up in the morning and experience a bad taste  or foul smell from your mouth. When you see yourself in mirror and check your tongue and find white-yellowish covering over it.   Bad breath, called Halitosis  results from poor dental health habits. And it can also be made worse by the types of foods you eat and other unhealthy lifestyle habits. Millions of bacteria live in the mouth, particularly on the back of the tongue.The mouth's warm, moist conditions are ideal for the growth of these bacteria. Hence cause bad breath in the mouth.

CAVITY!! what it is all about?

CAVITY!! what it is all about? This is a informational post, it has certain limits, we try to summarize as much as we can, for more details visit our Dental Clinic in Rohini at Kapil Dental Clinic and Implant Center. Cavity also known as tooth decay,  has become so common nowadays. Cavities are greatly influenced by our lifestyle, dietary habits, daily routine, oral hygiene habits, presence of fluoride in water and toothpaste.  They are not common only in children but also affecting the adults at the same rate. HOW DOES CAVITY OCCUR?? Food plays an important role in cavity formation. The hardest layer of tooth is known as Enamel which is composed of various minerals. Whenever we eat foods and drinks that contain sugars or starch some of the particles stick to the teeth and remain there for several hours forming a layer over the tooth`s surface known as PLAQUE. Our mouth contains millions of bacteria. As we are not in a habit of night brushing these bacteria ge
