How to protect teeth and prevent them from decaying, remember these three don'ts

Teeth are the hardest organ in the human body. Generally speaking, teeth are white and hard. The various shapes of teeth are suitable for a variety of foods, including tearing and grinding foods. As the saying goes, good teeth mean good appetite. So how can we prevent teeth from decaying?

1. Don't chew ice or eat food that is too hot.

Teeth don’t like food that is too hot or too cold, so eat less popsicles in the summer, because the process of chewing ice cubes will stimulate the soft tissue inside the teeth, which can easily cause toothache; and don’t eat too hot food, such as malatang, etc., which is not good for the teeth and stomach.

2. Be careful about teeth grinding and reduce tooth wear.

Some people grind their teeth at night, which is not good for teeth and can easily lead to excessive wear of teeth. If you grind your teeth severely, it is recommended that you see a doctor. Or wear a brace at night.

During the day, be careful not to use your teeth to come into contact with hard foods. If you grind your teeth at night, ask your family to remind you. Once you become aware of it, the situation will improve.

3. Don’t eat gummy candies, drink less sports drinks, and eat less sour foods.

Candies such as gummy candies and soft candies are easy to stick to teeth when they are eaten. If they are not cleaned and brushed properly, they will gradually develop into cavities, even for adult teeth. Therefore, you should eat less candies such as gummy candies, especially before going to bed at night. Also, drink less sports drinks, as they are high in sugar and are not good for your teeth.

In addition, acidic foods will damage your teeth, such as vinegar, tomatoes, sour apricots, etc., so you should eat less of them. If you feel your teeth are sour and swollen, you should stop eating fruit.
