Because erroneous assumptions, habits that often do not realize the danger. Chewing gum containing xyltol for example, is considered good for oral health but it can trigger sore jaw.

There are also some bad habits that never even occurred to the danger. For example snacking at night, biting your nails and breathe through your mouth, even apparently trivial but also causes problems no less serious.

Here are seven habits that can lead to tooth decay.

1. Snacking at night
Compared to daytime, saliva production is reduced at night. Because one function of the saliva is clean teeth of food scraps, then snacked at night can easily cause tooth date. Research on this subject ever published in the journal Eating Behavior.

2. Drinking white wine
Some people avoid red wine because it directly leave stains on your teeth. But according to the president of the American Society of Dental Aesthetics is also the originator of the SuperSmile, Irwin Smeigel, white wine, it also puts other, more permanent problem.

“Though not cause stains, higher acidity of white wine and can damage tooth enamel. The damage is in the form of rough spots and grooves that make teeth more susceptible to staining when consuming food or drink other color,” said Smeigel.

3. Breathing through the mouth
Sometimes if gasping for glorious when exercising or working hard, people started to breathe through the mouth. This causes the saliva in the oral cavity is reduced. In fact, according dentist Texas, Anna Dees, another function of saliva is to maintain a layer of teeth to prevent decay.

4. Excessive gum chewing
Chewing gum actually has benefits, especially if the gum containing xylitol. These materials can help maintain health palate. However, if excessive, then the suffering is a part of temporomandibular or jaw joint connecting the skull bones. Excess pressure in that section can cause headaches, sore neck, face and ears.

5. Nail biting
Not only damage the nail itself, a bad habit that children often do this cause serious damage to the teeth and gums. Tooth root changing its form and then trigger gingivitis (gum inflammation), while increasing the risk of bruxism or tooth movement that is not desired, such as rattling during sleep.

6. Juice and soda drinking directly from cans or bottle
Sipped straight from the bottle or beverage packaging enlarge the potential contact with teeth. Sugars and acids that can make rapid tooth decay. This risk can be reduced by drinking a soda or juice through a straw positioned pipe leading to the back of the mouth.

7. Brushing teeth horizontally
The damage that occurs during horizontal brushing your teeth is eroded enamel. As a result, teeth become fragile, easily broken and infection. Among dentists generally recommend brushing vertical manner, with a soft brush to avoid damaging the enamel.

Treating the teeth are rough and hard when brushing your teeth can be fatal. The presumption of brush hard with a rough brush to get white surface of the teeth and healthy must be changed. For healthy teeth are not going to get, but will make the tooth enamel to be vulnerable and might be bleeding gums.

Many patients who come with demands to immediately get the shape and appearance of healthy and perfect teeth, either color or shape in a short time, after treatment at the clinic. Patients are not reluctant to spend big to get maximum results. However, it becomes futile, if not balanced with the treatment done at home.

A few things potentially damaging security must be avoided teeth, such as teeth cleaning process the wrong way. In addition, too low in cleaning teeth that makes plaque still attached to the teeth is also suspected to be one culprit of tooth decay.

The early deadline when eating hot food with cold drinks can damage teeth. The consumption of cigarettes, coffee, tea and alcohol in large quantities at risk also makes tooth decay. For that reason alone should be treated at home, because it is much more important than to come to the clinic after receiving a complaint on the teeth.

Treatments that can be done at home is simple enough. The way to brush teeth regularly, twice a day, followed by a rinse using mouthwash that contains an antiseptic. And be sure to visit your dentist regularly every six months.

As a further step, to reduce the consumption of foods with high sugar levels and increased eating fruit.

Dental care and mouth from an early age is critical dental and mouth until the end of life. Some teeth and mouth disease can be experienced by children and infants when treatment is not done well, such as holes in the surface of the teeth, gums become inflamed, and the sprue.

Tooth decay generally occurs at an early age (children and infants) usually because of food / drink. Sweet foods such as brown and sticky like lunkhead if not immediately brushed / mouthwash will be left behind and causing tooth decay. Also drinks like tea, coffee, soft drinks, and cigarettes can cause a thin layer on the tooth called the stain so teeth become dull color, brown. Coarse layer stain is easily attached to the remains of food and bacteria, which eventually form a plaque, if not cleaned will harden and become tartar, and can spread to the roots of teeth. The result is easy bleeding tooth, wobbly teeth simple and easy to date.

How is the treatment? Consider the following steps:

Familiarize in tooth brushing. Caring your teeth can begin in infancy, this can be done by your child’s teeth cleaned by using cotton gauze or a rinse with warm water, then slowly digosokan on your baby’s gums. If the child is growing up, we as parents have to help introduce teeth brushing routine. Way that can be done by providing learning and brushed his teeth holding.

Eating noticed the child’s diet should also be kept in mind the old. Is the food consumed can damage the teeth or vice versa. Do not be too much to give children eat sweet foods like candy, chocolate, biscuits and foods that are sweet and easily attached digusi. Such foods usually reacts in the mouth and eventually forming acids that can damage tooth enamel. The effects, such as cavities, tooth loss before their time, interference with the size, shape and number of teeth. To prevent this, provide fiber foods, like vegetables and fruits, because these foods are self-cleansing (cleansing) which require mastication process repeatedly.

If it wants to give a brown foods, sweets, biscuits and other sweets should be at the right time, for example, after lunch. When you have finished the child was told to brush his teeth clean.

Before tooth eruption jaws rims clean with gauze or clean soft cloth wrapped around his forefinger. This practice can continue until the appearance of the first four teeth. Finger cots may then be made with latex or small brushes for children. The best place for the hygiene of the mouth is the place where diapers are changed typically after bath to incorporate hygiene of the mouth to the rest of the body.

* From 9 to 12 months and eight anterior teeth erupted and as the dentition is complete chewing cycle stabilizes. When the upper and lower teeth touch, the muscles of the jaws begin to learn new roles, the first movements are irregular as those seen during the early stages of any motor skill.

* From 12 to 24 months continues the development and maturation of the masticatory system to be completed within 30 months with the presence of 20 teeth in the mouth. It is important to avoid foods containing high percentage of carbohydrates, adhere to teeth and are slow release. Oral hygiene in this period is without toothpaste, just wet the brush with water. The most important cleaning is done before bedtime.

* From 2 to 5 years the child completed his teeth and all care will focus on prevention and early diagnosis of dental diseases and disorders in the masticatory system that prevent the normal growth and development of the jaws. The child used to introduce the toothbrush hygiene habit to six years but the brushing should be completed by parents or responsible adults, they do not have enough motor skills to make a correct elimination of microbes attached to the teeth.
