6 Habits That Harm Your Teeth (And How to Break Them): Using Your Teeth As Tools

The habit: Your teeth were made for eating, not to stand in as a pair of scissors or hold things when your hands are full. When you do this, you put yourself at a higher risk of cracking your teeth, injuring your jaw or accidentally swallowing something you shouldn’t.

Gum Disease Is Harmful to Your Health and Teeth

It's important to know how harmful gum disease is to your health and smile. Infected gums are the number one reason for tooth loss, and this bacterial infection has been connected to other effects on your health as well. Common symptoms are shifting teeth or bleeding gums while brushing. There may be no signs until the problem is advanced and severe. This may mean surgery to keep your teeth. During the earlier stages of the infection, nonsurgical methods work very well to reverse the problem, so we advise, at the first signs of infection, to come in to our office.

Hygiene Visits are Recommended

Please take our recommendation to have your teeth cleaned by our hygienist on a regular basis. Having any build-up of plaque and tartar removed will not only give you fresh breath and a clean and pleasing smile, it will help you to keep your natural teeth and lessen the chances of serious health conditions developing. Even if you are meticulous about cleaning your teeth every day, there are areas that are often missed or hard to reach that allow plaque and bacteria to form. Our hygienist will carefully inspect your teeth to ensure all areas of your teeth are once again very clean.
