You would never consider running a red light on a busy Lansdale street or crossing over a lane of orange construction cones on the freeway, but you might be doing some everyday things that are dangerous for your oral health in Lansdale. We want to share with you some common habits that could be detrimental to the health of your teeth.
Dangers to Oral Health in Lansdale
Crunching ice between your teeth might be refreshing, but it can be detrimental to the soft tissue inside your mouth. Once this tissue gets irritated, you’re more likely to get toothaches and have increased sensitivity to hot or cold foods.
Participating in your favorite sport without needed mouth protection is a risk that no one should take. If there is a chance that a mouth injury could take place, and there is with most sports, then get to the nearest sporting goods store and purchase a mouth guard or, better yet, ask me about a custom mouth guards.
Using your teeth to open anything is extremely harmful to oral health in Lansdale. Every time your teeth come in contact with foreign objects there is potential for chipping and cracking.
