The habit: Brushing for two minutes twice a day is one of the best habits you can get into. Just make sure you're not trying too hard. "Brushing with a hard toothbrush, or brushing too hard, can damage teeth and irritate gums," says Dr. Matthew Messina. The solution: Use a soft toothbrush with the ADA Seal of Acceptance at the proper pressure. "Don't think 'scrub.' Think 'massage,'" he says. "Save the hard toothbrush for cleaning the grout in the bathroom tile." To read the entire article please visit MouthHealthy.org
The habit: “This can cause chipping or cracking of the teeth, as well as muscle tenderness or joint pain,” Dr. Messina says. “You might also feel like you can’t open your mouth wide or chew with pain.” The solution: “Relaxation exercises and staying aware makes a difference,” he says. A nighttime mouthguard can also help. “You’ll have less tooth damage, less pain and muscle soreness and better sleep.” To read the entire article please visitMouthHealthy.org
