Your teeth can last a lifetime. With regular checkups at Future of Dentistry and a few daily precautions, you’ll go a long way toward making sure they do.
If you do any of the following, we recommend that you stop:
Chewing sugared gum all day.
Cavities, a sore jaw, or compromised bridgework may result. If you must chew, select gum with Xylitol.
Drinking soda and energy drinks.
These sugary, acidic beverages are immensely efficient at eroding enamel.
Chewing ice or hard candy.
Your enamel is quite hard. But so are ice and hard candy, and head-to-head, occasionally they win, resulting in a cracked tooth.
Skipping flossing.
Maybe you think brushing is enough. Following brushing with a careful flossing job cleans away fragments of food and plaque between teeth.
Using a firm bristled toothbrush.
A soft bristled brush is the best tool for the job. Save your firm brush for cleaning the grout around your bathtub.
At Future of Dentistry our family dentistry will help keep your teeth and gums in excellent condition. Patients come from throughout Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley come to us for regular checkups and for restorative dentistry. Call to schedule an appointment today!
