When we think of our teeth, we think mostly spontaneously Keywords caries and sugar one. There are many more factors that stress the teeth ' and damage them permanently. Here's an overview:
smoking can wiggle the teeth
Hardly a patient knows: who smokes daily over a long period of time up to ten cigarettes has, according to recent research, on average, a three-fold increased risk of periodontitis. The destroyed immune system of the oral cavity caused deeper "pockets" in the gums, a greater reduction of the jaw bone and significantly worse prognosis. Unlike in non-smokers to stay out of early warning signs of periodontal disease in smokers, such as bleeding gums and pain. In addition, an increased risk of developing oral cancer, with smokers on up to four times compared to non smokers. With the simultaneous consumption of alcohol, this risk even when up to fifteen times.
If the toothbrush to the "weapon" is
Heavy cigarette smoking is a stress factor for the teeth - the rough handling of the toothbrush another. Muscle games are inappropriate when brushing your teeth. To confuse the morning cleaning teeth with bodybuilding and scrub vigorously promotes the degradation of the hard tooth substance. Also incorrect brushing technique leads to these undesirable side effects. Simultaneously with intensive scrubbing and the gums are damaged.
Sauer makes funny - and the teeth ill
A typical example of a not based on bacterial degradation of the tooth: the enamel by acidic food is softened and therefore vulnerable. A delicious green apple is one example of the food that cause an acidic environment in the mouth. To avoid that after eating an apple the softened tooth enamel is removed, you should wait before brushing the teeth for about one hour. You can also use preventive fluoride toothpaste or fluoride preparations are applied directly with a thin protective layer on the tooth surface. In addition to other acidic fruits include apples, lemon soda, fruit juices, vinegar or yogurt to acidic foods.
Bulimia damages the teeth
Another cause of an acidic environment in the mouth can be frequent vomiting. This is for example in the case of bulimia. By the vomiting bulimic patients, the teeth are exposed to very often the strong acidity of the stomach. The oral cavity is significantly more acidic than in healthy people. The consequences show up in a short time: the cutting edges of the front and canine teeth in the mandible typical wells on exhibit. After two years in the upper jaw large changes observed especially at the front teeth: In the advanced stage can occur even to the shortening of the cutting edges.
