Thinking about getting your tongue pierced? It might look cool, but it can come with risks to your oral health. Piercings in the mouth can lead to chipped teeth, gum recession, and even infections if not properly cared for. The constant contact between jewelry and your teeth or gums can cause damage over time, and swelling or irritation isn’t uncommon. If you already have a piercing, regular dental visits with {Doctor} and extra attention to oral hygiene are key to keeping your smile healthy. Have questions? ➡ https://rwl.io/3Qom1Jz

Orange you glad you know how citrus fruits affect your teeth? Citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, and grapefruits are packed with vitamin C, but their high acidity can wear down tooth enamel over time. That enamel is your tooth’s protective layer, and once it starts to erode, you may notice increased sensitivity and a greater risk of cavities. Even though citrus is healthy, the acid can soften enamel temporarily, making your teeth more vulnerable, especially if you brush right after eating. Rinsing with water and waiting about 30 minutes before brushing can help protect your smile while still enjoying your favorite fruits.
