Bad brushing technique ruins your enamel
The most common mistake that harm your tooth enamel is bad brushing technique. Brushing hard and fast will strip down the enamel. Also doing horizontal motions instead of vertical ones is bad for you the enamel and your gums. What you want is to brush slowly and gentle and use vertical strokes combined with circular motions. I suggest a soft bristle toothbrush for maximum care.
Using bad your teeth
Another common problem I see in patients is that they tend to bite into hard things. Ice, hard candies and even bones I going to not only ruin your enamel, it’s going to eventually break your teeth. I
f you bite other things like pencils and pen, I suggest stopping doing also. Try to use chewing gum instead to protect your teeth.
Finally, I want to recommend avoiding colorant in food and drinks. Many soft drinks will stain your teeth and discolor them. Drink more water guys and maintain a good dental hygiene.
