1.NAIL BITING  Nail biting may be a little less common these days but I still see it quite often. It can cause teeth and fillings to chip off and can also cause wearing off of enamel. POSSIBLE SOLUTION :-  Paint the nails with a bitter taste polish.  2. ACIDIC DRINKS  Cold drinks and other aerated drinks that is more common than milk or any other liquid in between adults is the main cause that led to wearing off of enamel surface. This helps in decaying process. The sugar content that is too high in it promotes decay. POSSIBLE SOLUTION :- Avoid these drinks, have some water through out the day at intervals. Avoid drinking aerated drinks, if must, sip by sip instead drink it in one go and rinse after that to remove acids. 3.ICE CUBE CHEWING Chewing on any ice cube will not make you "RAMBO."Teeth are meant for chewing but not ice cubes. POSSIBLE SOLUTION :- Avoid eating ice cubes. 4. BRUSHING TOO HARD Brushing too hard can lead to we...

One of the commonest myth is that "Sugar causes cavities". we have heard this a number of times in our life time. but the real question is how much is the truth in this?? lets find out the answer........... what happens when we have something sweet to eat. a little amount of the sugar sticks to the teeth, this sugar finds its place in between teeth or between irregular tooth surface. but sugar itself is harmless if it is present alone. the problem arises that in our oral cavity there are a number of bacteria's working 24 hours. these bacteria also have a increased number in the areas where sugar find its place. sugar act as a food to these bacteria. these bacteria eats sugar and releases some form of acids that actually damages the teeth. we all know enamel is the hardest part of the body but still it is susceptible to the damage by acids. this acid when in contact with the teeth causes enamel to erode away, that causes decay. before a person get to know this the...
