If you aren’t brushing your teeth each morning and night, it’s safe to say you’re harming your oral health. But here are a few things that could wreak havoc on your mouth and teeth that you may want to think twice about!
1. Snoring. Aside from just preventing your partner from sleeping well, snoring can make your teeth more susceptible to decay as it can drastically dry out your mouth.
2. Chewing ice. For some, it’s a habit that’s hard to break. The next time you catch yourself chewing on ice after finishing a beverage, make a mental note and then stop the action.
3. Mouth piercings. Though some may find tongue or inner lip piercings cute and trendy, if they aren’t cleaned properly each day, the chances of developing bacteria that can lead to a serious oral infection is greatly increased.
