Many people dont realize how much daily wear comes from simple habits!

Chewing ice, biting nails, or using your teeth as tools can slowly weaken enamel and increase the risk of chips and cracks.

Dental X-rays act like an early warning tool for your teeth and jaw. They can reveal hidden cavities, bone changes, and other concerns that are not visible during a regular exam.

Catching issues early usually means simpler treatment and better long term results for your smile. 😁

Hard toothbrushes can wear down enamel and irritate gums over time, even if they feel like they clean better. Softer bristles are usually safer and just as effective! 🪥

How you brush matters more than how hard you brush. Using light pressure with the right technique helps protect your teeth and gums long term.

Do you use a soft or hard toothbrush? Tell us below!

Brushing in the morning helps clear away bacteria that build up overnight and freshens your breath for the day. It also gives your teeth a clean start before meals and drinks.

Nighttime brushing is just as important, if not more. It removes food and plaque before bed so bacteria have less to feed on while you sleep, helping lower your risk for cavities.

Are you more consistent with morning or nighttime brushing? Tell us below!

Saliva is your mouth’s natural defense system. It helps balance acids, clears away debris, and supports enamel health throughout the day.

Low saliva flow lets bacteria linger longer, increasing the chance of tooth damage. Drinking water and sticking to daily oral care helps keep this protection working.
