🦷 OUCH! Do your teeth hurt when you enjoy something hot, cold, sweet, or sour? You may be dealing with tooth sensitivity.

Sensitive teeth can happen when enamel wears down or gums recede, exposing the more sensitive parts of your tooth. The good news is that treatments like desensitizing toothpaste, fluoride, and proper dental care can help.

If sensitivity is persistent or painful, schedule a dental visit to find the cause and protect your smile! 😁 Learn more here... https://cle.clinic/4vMmzLR

🦷Tooth decay is a process that happens over time. It starts when plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, builds up on your teeth. These bacteria produce acids that attack the enamel, creating tiny holes that can grow bigger if not treated.

Good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups are key to keeping your smile healthy! 😁✨ Learn more about how tooth decay happens and how to prevent it: https://bit.ly/37vgJVp

More pressure doesn’t mean a better clean. 🪥

Brushing too hard can actually do more harm than good, leading to enamel wear, gum recession, and tooth sensitivity over time. You might notice frayed bristles, sore gums, or increased sensitivity if you're brushing too aggressively.

The fix is simple: use a soft-bristled brush, gentle circular motions, and let the toothbrush do the work. Two minutes is all you need.
