Some of the obvious things that can damage teeth include sugar laden food and beverages that can promote dental decay; smoking and tobacco use that can lead to gum disease and tooth loss; and neglect when it comes to daily teeth cleaning and regular visits with your dentist. But there are a number of other things that also could be damaging your oral health.
If you deal with any of these habits, your dentist can provide the advice needed to help keep teeth healthy. Good dental health is important to maintaining good overall health, so do everything you can to break negative habits and begin new, positive ones.
Responsibility begins with you. Daily teeth cleaning and flossing coupled with regular dental visits at the office of Dr. Barry Buchanan are a great start to maintain your best oral health.
