Chewing sugared gum all day.
Cavities, a sore jaw, or damaged dental bridges may result. If you must chew, select gum with Xylitol.
Drinking soda and energy drinks.
These sugary, acidic beverages are unusually efficient at eroding enamel.
Chewing ice or hard candy.
Your enamel is quite strong. But so are ice and hard candy, and head-to-head, every so often they win, resulting in a broken tooth.
Skipping flossing.
Maybe you think brushing is enough. Following brushing with a careful flossing job removes bits of food and plaque between teeth.
Using a firm bristled toothbrush.
A soft bristled brush is the best suited tool for the job. Save your firm brush for cleaning the grout around your bathtub.
