1. Brushing Too Hard
Many people think scrubbing harder makes teeth cleaner — but it actually wears down enamel and irritates gums. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and gentle circular motions.
2. Snacking Too Often
Frequent snacking keeps acid levels high, weakening enamel. Try to limit sugary snacks between meals and rinse your mouth with water afterwards.
3. Using Teeth as Tools
Opening bottles or tearing packets with your teeth can cause chips and fractures. Keep your smile safe — use the right tool instead!
4. Skipping Dental Appointments
Regular check-ups prevent small issues from becoming painful (and expensive) problems. Book your dental check-up every six months.
5. Drinking Too Many Fizzy Drinks
Even "diet" drinks contain acid that erodes enamel. Stick to water or milk when possible.
