  3. Things Your Dentist Wants You to Know Dental X-rays don’t cause cancer or any type of harm to your teeth or oral health. Chew sugarless gum between meals to reduce bad bacteria in the mouth. Say no to oral piercings. Any type of piercing in the mouth can have a harmful effect on your oral health and damage your teeth. Brush your teeth properly for 2 minutes. Don’t rinse your mouth immediately after brushing. Allow your toothpaste to sit on your teeth for half an hour. Even when nothing is wrong with your teeth, do visit your dentist for periodic dental check-ups. Regular dental visits can prevent any problem from becoming serious. Take care of your teeth. Build good oral habits. Stop smoking and end your tobacco consumption.

  4. Things Your Dentist Wants You to Know Don’t over brush or apply pressure while brushing. Brushing hard can cause gum recession and wear down teeth enamel. Bring your child to a dentist as soon as the eruption of their first tooth. Early dental visits can alleviate their fears and make them comfortable with dental treatment. Don’t let embarrassment keep you away from visiting a dentist. Dentists have seen far worse things and won’t judge you for your teeth. Bleeding gums are not normal at all and can be a sign of periodontal disease. Visit your dentist to detect the early symptoms of gum disease. Don’t brush your teeth immediately after eating or drinking. Wait for one hour. Oral cancer screening should be part of your regular dental check-ups. Early detection can prevent it from spreading and save your life.
