But, everyone has a moment of realization at times, and mine arised when I was browsing through the net, after my friend told me to Google for some dental information. And man, didn't my way of life change!
Let's get some basic information unto the mat:
1. Dental Floss is really destructive, you either clean it the right way, or you make sure that you at least rinse your mouth with all through the day, three to four times.
2. You can get oral cancer too, if you've not heard of it before, then this is one thing that you should be aware of, cancer spares not even the mouth.
3. Solid candy, and some medicines like cough drops and chewable Vitamin C tablets, can result in cavity formation. You have to strive and avoid it, if you can't, then be sure that you drink water or clean your teeth right after.
4. Gum Illness is something that you can get, and the best guy to spot this is your dentist.
5. Bad breath usually comes due to poor oral hygiene apart from other reasons.
6. Poor Oral Hygiene can result in even heart diseases and gum loss.
7. Water is the best friend of your tooth, but don't take fluorinated water for granted, you need to have more ways of keeping your teeth healthy and strong.
8. If you've less Saliva, you're suspect to more bacterial issues.
9. Be sure that you don't brush for too long, it can hurt your enamel, keep it to an acceptable level.
10. A dentist is the best guy to decide, unlike some other parts of your body, the best judge of the present condition of your teeth is your dentist, and a regular check up makes sure that you keep things under control. Cleaning your teeth frequently are the best way forward.
I've begun to feel for my mouth, to know that it's related to various other things within my system and activities are seriously a scary issue. The best way to make sure that you brush is to do it for 21 days straight somehow, then as I read in A Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, it becomes a habit.
