Brushing and flossing your teeth are paramount, as is regularly visiting the dentist\u2014but good habits aside, you also need to refrain from letting certain objects enter your mouth. Even though some foods and consumables can be irresistibly tempting, you should heed your dentist\u2019s advice; after all, they\u2019re the expert! Here are a few things, some of which aren\u2019t even foods, that you should avoid putting in your mouth entirely to prevent a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harrisparkwaydental.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">dental emergency.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Foods Should I Avoid?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are certain foods that can become very problematic when they enter your mouth, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Lemons \u2013 Even though they\u2019re fruit, sucking on lemons isn\u2019t wise; their high levels of acidity can lead to enamel erosion and a pH imbalance inside of the mouth.<\/li><li>Hard candies \u2013 These candies linger in the mouth for extended periods of time, delivering a sizable amount of sugar. If not fully dissolved, chewing on them can lead to cracked teeth and cuts on the inside of the mouth.<\/li><li>Potato chips \u2013 Chips are tasty, and it\u2019s easy to eat more than one; but the amount of starch, sugar, and acidity found in them makes them hazardous for your teeth.<\/li><li>Ice cubes \u2013 People love chewing on ice cubes for some reason, but this can easily lead to fractured teeth.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Non-Food Items Should I Avoid?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These non-food items should be avoided entirely:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Metal bottle caps \u2013 Do not use your teeth in lieu of a bottle opener!<\/li><li>Plastic bottle tops \u2013 Trying to twist these open with your teeth can lead to not only fractures, but also muscle and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain.<\/li><li>Other people\u2019s toothbrushes \u2013 This is an excellent way to get sick, as sharing toothbrushes is a surefire way to spread bacteria.<\/li><li>Fingernails \u2013 Biting your nails is an unsanitary habit that can flatten the edges of your front teeth and create cracks in your enamel, causing hypersensitivity.<\/li><li>Keys \u2013 If your hands are full, it might seem easier to grip your keys in your teeth. But this can cause chipping, cracking, and will also transfer bacteria to your mouth.<\/li><li>Pens, pencils, paperclips, and erasers \u2013 These items are often riddled with bacteria and have parts that can easily damage your teeth.<\/li><li>Jewelry \u2013 Facial piercings and jewelry can cause chronic injury to adjacent teeth, as well as the cheeks, lips, and taste buds.<\/li><li>Cigarettes \u2013 There is an almost infinite number of reasons why cigarettes are bad for your health, but they are especially hard on your mouth. Stained teeth and bad breath head a long list of potential issues that can sometimes lead to oral cancer.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you ever catch yourself mindlessly chewing on an ice cube, or suddenly feel the urge to smoke a cigarette, stop and think\u2014if your dentist wouldn\u2019t put it in their mouth, why should you? Showing a little bit of measure and restraint now can save you from a serious headache (literally) in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Harris Parkway Dental Care has served families in Fort Worth and the surrounding area for several years.
