  • The chances are you like to keep your mouth
    engaged in munching snacks, sweets, and sugary
    foods.
  • Dont worry, thats not a big deal for your teeth
    and dental health.
  • Sweet foods dont necessarily get your teeth into
    big trouble but your bad dental habits certainly
    do.
  • While most people blame chocolates, candies and
    other sweet treats for their painful teeth, bad
    breath, sore gums, and bad oral health, obtaining
    a healthy mouth and a carefree smile is a matter
    of daily care and hygiene maintenance.

  • Often passed around by individuals who are scared
    of dentists or have the fear of dentistry or
    receiving dental care, here are a few common
    dental care myths that may be killing your pearly
    whites by building a pool of misconceptions.
  • Myth1 Whiter Teeth are the Healthiest
  • Although a widely held misconception, pure white
    teeth may not necessarily be a sign of good oral
    health. Healthy teeth can be associated with a
    wide range of natural shades that may vary from
    person to person.

  • Myth2 Too much Sugar can Harm Your Pearly
    Whites
  • Sugar alone cant harm your teeth but with oral
    bacteria and acid that erodes your enamel, it can
    take a toll on dental health.
  • Natural sugars contained in nutritious foods can
    be as damaging to your teeth as sugar-added soft
    drinks and sweet treats.
  • Whats important is to brush and rinse after
    eating in order to prevent sugars to hide in
    between the teeth and produce harmful acids.

  • Myth3 Brushing Bleeding Gums can Worsen Them
  • After knowing that bleeding gums are an early
    sign of plaque that causes inflammation and gum
    disease, leaving your bleeding gums alone to heal
    over time would be the last thing you might want
    to do.
  • While you might try not to brush too hard or
    brush at a certain angle in case you have
    sensitive gums, it is necessary that you do in
    order to remove plaque, bacteria and unwanted
    food particles.

  • In addition, there are many other myths
    surrounding dental health and care that need to
    be drilled out only to be avoided.
  • The best way to do it would be consulting a
    certified dentist to clear your misconceptions
    and achieve proper dental care.
