Small Habits That Will Protect Your Dental Health

“Habit is a cable; we weave a thread each day, and at last we cannot break it.” Horace Mann

When we all review our lives, we face many routines that we are not satisfied with, even though we have had them for many years. Some of us say he needs to exercise to be more energetic and fit because he works by sitting all day. Although we know that a half-hour workout routine a day will make your dream come true, the habits we have, prevent us from taking action under the pretext that the right time will constantly come to achieve this goal. We'd like to quit smoking, but after everything's all right, we'll light up another one.

In the course of everyday life, we forget how effective the habits we have are on our dental health. Until we woke up in the morning with an unbearable toothache.

As Horace Mann said, it's impossible to break a cable at once. Maybe identifying the thin thread that makes it up and getting rid of them can finally eliminate the many obstacles that bind us. How about making it easier for you to notice these little threads that you don't notice that affect your dental health?

Working conditions with the dizzying speed of life disrupt our eating and drinking habits. Regular meals replace a lot of snacks and junk food, while also creating short-term escape areas in the face of the weight of responsibilities. Because it is impossible to stay out of this speed, it would be nonsense to say stop eating snacks, disconnected from reality echoing from an ivory tower. But by changing the content of these snacks, you can prevent tooth decay. You can do this by choosing salty, cheese crackers, or raw vegetables instead of sugar-containing junk foods. The sugar-free gum that you will then chew will both engage your mind and prevent acid attack by providing saliva and allow your teeth to be re-mineralized. And you should completely remove fizzy drinks from your life. Even a bottle of fizzy drink a day poses a danger to your dental health beyond what you can imagine. If you think you can't quit, you should also know that you shouldn't expect your teeth to be healthy by eating a handful of sugars. The most important liquid your body needs and needs to be efficient is water and does not harm your teeth in any way.

Don't do it if you rinse your mouth immediately after spitting when you brush your teeth. Water does not harm your teeth, but it prevents fluoride, which strengthens your tooth enamel and is very important for your dental resistance, from acting on your teeth. Although fluoride is found in water and many foods, this ratio is not comparable to toothpaste.

Do you think brushing your teeth regularly is enough? And what would you think if we said that the cleaning rate provided by a toothbrush is only 60%? The environments in which dental diseases begin are cavities that the toothbrush cannot reach. We recommend that you also include the use of dental floss or an interdental brush in your regular brushing routine.

Brushing your teeth immediately after eating can also affect parts of the tooth enamel on the upper the surface of the teeth, causing your teeth to become sensitive and to have pain.

Finally, using scissors or a bottle opener instead of using your teeth as an opener can save you from difficult situations when you need to use your teeth for their true purpose. To prevent the little habits from turning into a cable weaved with small threads mentioned above, we wish you a good and healthy day when smiling turns into a habit, reminding you that all you need is motivation to start and then the right habits that you will get.
