Did you know? Some of your daily, unconscious habits are quietly threatening your oral health.
The most common "threats" include:
-
Bad Physical Habits: Using your teeth as tools to open bottles or bite hard objects can lead to chipped or worn teeth.
-
Neglecting Basic Care: Incomplete brushing and skipping floss allow plaque to build up, directly causing cavities and gingivitis.
-
"Invisible" Irritants:
-
Smoking / Chewing Betel Nut: Among the biggest enemies of oral health. They severely damage gums and significantly increase the risk of oral cancer.
-
Excessive Alcohol: Can cause dry mouth and irritate oral tissues.
-
-
Procrastination: Ignoring small problems until a severe toothache strikes often turns simple issues into complex and expensive treatments.
Protecting your health is simple:
Breaking bad habits is the first step in prevention. Commit to effective daily brushing and flossing, and make protective check-ups a regular part of your healthy life. Your oral health is worth your conscious investment.
