🦷 Thursday Tooth Tip
Think brushing harder is the key to preventing tooth decay? Not always.
While brushing and flossing are essential, they are only one piece of the puzzle. Your oral health is influenced by many everyday factors, including your saliva, oral bacteria, diet, breathing and how often you snack.
💧 Saliva is one of your mouth’s best natural defences. It helps wash away food particles, neutralise harmful acids and replenish the minerals your teeth need to stay strong. A dry mouth can make it easier for tooth decay to develop.
Everyone’s mouth is different, which is why some people can have excellent brushing habits and still experience tooth decay, while others may be less affected.
Healthy teeth are not about being perfect. They are about creating the right environment for your smile to thrive. ✨
