Dental Hygiene Questions Answered
In this post, we will recapitulate important oral hygiene information that we shared in earlier posts.
What do stained teeth indicate?
Stained teeth may also mean that you have tooth decay; the decay causes parts of your teeth to become brown in color. Apart from this, teeth discoloration without an apparent reason may indicate that the teeth have been damaged because of some injury. Visit your dentist to know if the stain on your teeth is indicative of a deeper problem.
What toothpaste should I use?
The recommended toothpaste is the one that contains fluoride. However, if you are getting your dose of fluoride through the water you drink, you can use any toothpaste you like. If your teeth are sensitive, ask your dentist to prescribe an appropriate toothpaste for sensitive teeth.
How is grinding the teeth or biting nails harmful for the teeth?
Some of us grind our teeth when angry, others do it for no reason. Whatever may be the cause, grinding the teeth is a bad dental habit. It results in chipping of teeth. Nail-biting does not only harm your nails but also causes chipping of teeth.
Happy smiling!
