Here are some excellent tips for maintaining strong, healthy teeth. We will jump right in:
Tooth Truth: Teeth have a protective outer layer called enamel. This layer is harder than bone and protects the teeth like a helmet.
What you should know: A crack in that armour leaves the tooth vulnerable to bigger losses.
Tooth truth: Many things can weaken enamel such as pop, cavities, tooth grinding or even certain medical conditions.
What you should know: Make sure your dentist knows about any conditions or habits so they can do things to help.
Tooth truth: The mouth can exert up to 200 lbs. of pressure every time you bite.
What you should know: Chew carefully and avoid biting hard, non-food items like pens and pencils.
Tooth truth: Cracked teeth don’t always hurt or become sensitive to pressure.
What you should know: Get regular hygiene checkups so you can catch issues before they become bigger problems.
Tooth Truth: Early intervention increases the chance of saving teeth.
What you should know: There are many things a dentist can do to reinforce your teeth. The longer you wait the less options you’ll have.
