  1. FACTS AND MYTHS ABOUT DENTAL CARE

  2. 1. MYTH: ONCE A TOOTH IS TREATED, THE DECAY STOPS This is not true as there is no guarantee for it. After the treatment, you must properly care every tooth by regularly brushing and flossing it.

  3. 2. MYTH: BRUSHING YOUR BLEEDING GUMS IS BAD Most common misconception of oral care. Brushing is not only good for your teeth, but also for your tongue and gums.

  4. 3. MYTH: EXPENSIVE TOOTHPASTE IS ALWAYS BETTER It is not always true, as some moderately expensive toothpastes can be very effective. Ask your dentist about the toothpaste that can be good for your dental care.

  5. 4. MYTH: PLACING AN ASPIRIN NEXT TO A TOOTH WILL LESSEN THE PAIN Toothache remedies won’t solve your dental problems. Putting an aspirin tablet will lead to painful burns.

  6. 5. FLOSSING IS NOT IMPORTANT Skipping the floss means giving a chance to build up bacteria. If you don’t floss, you don’t clean 33% of your tooth surfaces.

  7. 6. MYTH: BABIES CAN’T GET CAVITIES If proper care is not taken, then it might cause permanent tooth problem
