So, you think you take perfectly good care of your teeth? If you can make it through this list without feeling guilty and brush and floss regularly, consider your oral health in tip-top shape!

• Smoking. Cigarettes lead to bad breath, discolouration and a higher risk of oral cancer. More so, the popular alternative known as vaping is still harmful to your mouth as nicotine restricts blood flow to the gums.
• Nervous biting. Chewing pencils or our nails may not be something we easily recognise as bad for our teeth, but it can weaken or even chip them. Opt for a stress ball instead.
• Do you have proper tongue posture? Your tongue should naturally rest on the roof of your mouth. If not, you could be over clenching and grinding your teeth.
• Eating dried fruit. Though we often think of fruit as healthy, certain dried fruits can be packed full of sugar—like raisins.
