For A Healthier Smile, Stop Doing This

Chewing sugared gum all-day
Cavities, a sore jaw, or compromised bridgework may result. If you must chew, select gum with Xylitol.

Drinking soda and energy drinks
These sugary, acidic beverages are very efficient at weakening enamel.

Chewing ice or hard candy
Your enamel is pretty tough. But so are ice and hard candy, and head-to-head, occasionally they win, resulting in a chipped or broken tooth.

Skipping flossing
Maybe you think brushing is enough. Following brushing with an attentive flossing job eliminates particles of food and plaque between teeth.

Using a firm bristled toothbrush
A soft-bristled brush is the best tool for the job. Save your firm brush for cleaning the grout around your bathtub.
