Top things that ruin your teeth
Sugar
Sugar is really tasty but it does so much damage to your teeth. I am not asking to quit sugar entirely but you must know how to moderate it. Equilibrium is the key to good dental hygiene. Try to reduce sugar consumption to avoid its effects. That way you will suffer less from dental caries, plaque, tartar and bad breath.
Alcohol
Most of our patients drink alcohol. It can be fun and relaxing a drink now and then, but in excess is really bad for your teeth. Alcohol can stain your teeth real bad and affect the gums. It also has a bad effect in your breath because of the alcohol in your blood. Besides, it brings many health problems to your liver and body overall. Same as sugar, moderate alcoholic drinks in your life to get better teeth.
Drugs
This is the most serious topic in this article. Putting alcohol aside, which can ruin your teeth in excess, you have to avoid drugs. Tobacco in one hand can ruin your smile real bad, real quick. It will destroy your teeth, staining them, wearing then down and rotting your gums. And I am not even mentioning the effects on your lungs, mouth and throat, being the most common cause of cancer.
Cigarettes are bad for your health but I am noticing other drugs used by some patients. Meth, cocaine and heroin, are some of the most used. And they have one thing in common, they cut the blood flow in your body. This occurs especially in your mouth, killing all tissue and affecting the bone structure. This means that you can lose bone form your jaw and teeth by using these drugs. If you cannot stop by yourself, I suggest to seek help to quit them.
How to fix ruined teeth
Nonetheless, everything has a solution. There are many treatments to fix a broken smile. Below I will leave some tips on how to improve your dental health. They are simple suggestion you can begin to apply today. Just be sure to be constant and not to lose sight of the goal: a beautiful smile.
Better dental hygiene
You cannot have a good dental hygiene without a good routine. You have to start by brushing your teeth at least 3 times a day. Next is to use dental floss to clean between them to get rid of food debris stuck. Finish things up with rinsing with mouth wash. Doing these 3 times a day will put you in the path of a healthy smile.
Remember to be gentle and careful when using dental floss and brushing. You do not want to strip your teeth from the enamel or cut your gums. Use slow and gentle stokes to clean your teeth and use just a couple of dental floss. You do not need to waste yards of floss every time you use it.
Better diet
You are what you eat so be mindful about your diet. Opt for more vegetables and fruits, avoiding fats and junk food. Drinking water is especially good for your dental hygiene. Staying well hydrated can bring your dental health to the top. It will make your teeth stay cleaner, soft tissue healthy and a nice breath. Try to drink at least 8 glasses of water of water a day.
