What is a bite guard?
A device worn over the teeth to protect them from grinding or clenching, often used during sleep.
Why are sugary foods harmful to teeth?
Bacteria in dental plaque turn sugars into acids. Over time, these acids can make a cavity in the tooth.
Why should I avoid sugary drinks?
They can lead to tooth decay, as the sugars feed oral bacteria that produce acid, weakening tooth enamel.
Can medications affect my oral health?
Yes, some medications can cause dry mouth, gum swelling, or discoloration. Always inform your dentist about any medications you’re taking.
How can I reduce the risk of gum disease?
Brush and floss regularly, have professional cleanings, avoid tobacco, and maintain a balanced diet.
