🧊 1. Chewing ice
Although refreshing, ice is hard and cold, which can cause fractures, dental wear, or sensitivity.
👉 SkyBlue Tip: It's better to opt for drinking cold water or chewing on soft foods like fruits.
🪛 2. Using your teeth as a tool
Opening wrappers, bottles, or cutting threads with your teeth can cause cracks, chipping, or premature wear.
👉 SkyBlue Tip: Your teeth are for smiling and chewing, not for replacing scissors or bottle openers.
🪥 3. Brushing too hard
A common mistake is thinking that the harder you brush, the cleaner your teeth will be. In reality, aggressive brushing can wear down enamel and cause gum recession.
👉 SkyBlue Tip: Use a soft-bristled brush and circular motions. Technique is more important than force.
🥤 4. Consuming acidic drinks frequently
Citrus juices, sodas, and energy drinks contain acids that erode enamel over time, promoting the appearance of cavities and dental sensitivity.
👉 SkyBlue Tip: Limit your consumption and rinse your mouth with water after drinking them.
⏰ 5. Skipping professional dental cleanings
Even if you have a good brushing routine, there will always be hard-to-reach areas where plaque and tartar accumulate. Only a professional cleaning can completely remove them.
👉 SkyBlue Tip: Schedule your dental cleaning every 6 months to keep your smile in optimal condition.
