Gnaw nails, grit your teeth ... See habits that impair Oral Health

Gnaw nails, grit your teeth ... See habits that impair Oral Health


The smile is our postcard, but to cultivate a mouth and beautiful teeth we need to have some care. Ranger your teeth, gnaw nails, bite the pen cap, suck your finger ... Some habits often seen as harmless can detract from dental health.

Some people think that brushing too hard ensures cleaner teeth, but that's not true. According to experts, very strong brushing can wear out tooth enamel, irritate and cause irreversible damage to the gums. And grind your teeth? Known as 'bruxism', it may be related to difficult and stressful phases. Ranger the teeth causes wear and even headaches. This habit occurs during the night. To limit damage, use of a mouth guard may be indicated. 

Acidic foods are seen as villains by dentists and should be consumed in a moderate manner. This is because they cause erosion, a softening of the tooth enamel. Soft drinks and industrialized juices are also considered acids.

Wine is also a 'villain' and stains its teeth. To avoid staining and erosion, the tip is to use straw and make mouthwash. Also avoid brushing your teeth after drinking wine or an acidic juice. Smoking is another habit that harms the teeth. In addition to leaving the yellow teeth, it can cause inflammation of the gums, bad breath, throat and mouth cancers and periodontal disease. 

And gnawing the nail, does it hurt? This habit can cause cracks and chipping of the front teeth. In addition, germs and bacteria that are under the nails enter the mouth and can cause bacterial, viral and fungal lesions. Already sucking the finger interferes with the growth of the dental arch and changes the position of the teeth. 

Sensitivity

Sensitivity in teeth is a problem that spoils the pleasure of a meal, but there is treatment. Sometimes the sensitivity appears because of the brushing. "Sometimes the person prefers a harder brush and is very strong. This causes the retraction, "explains the dentist Ana Paula Uzum. She says it is best to opt for a soft brush or extramacia, make short strokes every two teeth and then finish combing the gums down. 

Do you brush your teeth straight and the pain continues? The problem may be in the enamel used to protect the teeth. Using a toothpaste for sensitivity may help. And when it does not resolve, the solution is for the dentist to apply fluoride in stronger doses. 

Gingivitis

A little hidden food does a great deal of damage in the mouth. If you do not clean it right, it turns out to be a full plate for bacteria, which multiply until the gums get inflamed. "Gingivitis is an inflammation caused by the accumulation of plaque," says dentist Sheila Parreira Milena. Proper oral hygiene with brushing and flossing can prevent inflammation. The bleeding is an alert. It is one of the main signs of gingivitis.
