Seemingly harmless habits that harm dental health named

Dentist Leonardo Achioli warned that some seemingly harmless everyday habits can cause serious damage to dental and gum health. In a conversation with journalists, he discussed actions that increase the risk of enamel damage and the development of inflammation.

As reported by BAKU.WS with reference to Terra, according to Achioli, these habits include biting nails, sucking fingers, picking teeth, chewing food predominantly on one side of the jaw, and opening packages with teeth. The specialist noted that such actions lead to tooth fragility, accelerated enamel wear, bite disorders, gum inflammation, and increase the likelihood of infections.

Additionally, the dentist emphasized the importance of choosing the right oral care products. He explained that toothpastes with high abrasiveness and mouthwashes with high alcohol content can disrupt the balance of microflora and increase tooth sensitivity.
