Chewing sugared gum all day.
Cavities, a sore jaw, or damaged bridgework may result. If you must chew, select gum with Xylitol. At Prestige Dentistry, we want our Trinity, FL patients to take care of their smiles.
Drinking soda and energy drinks.
These sugary, acidic beverages are exceptionally 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 cracked tooth.
Skipping flossing.
Maybe you think brushing is sufficient. 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 right tool for the job. Save your firm brush for cleaning the grout around your bathtub.
Delaying dental checkups.
Don’t wait until you have a problem. Call 727-376-3763 to book an extensive exam and the best deep dental cleaning you can get anywhere. Our exceptional hygienists really are the best!
