Teens, stop! You do this every day and then wonder why you have cavities and sensitivity. Ready for the truth?
Top 3 “sins” that send teens to the dentist:
🥤 Chips and soda non-stop
• What happens: the sugar in soda and the starch in chips create the perfect breeding ground for bacteria that damage enamel and cause cavities. Plus, the acids in soda “eat away” at your teeth.
• What to do: if you can’t resist, rinse your mouth and use floss to remove leftover food!
🎮 Gaming until 4 a.m.
• What happens: lack of sleep weakens your immune system, making teeth more vulnerable to bacteria. Plus, during long gaming sessions, you often forget about oral hygiene and snack on junk food.
• What to do: stick to a sleep routine, take breaks from gaming, and don’t forget to brush before bed!
🛌 Going to bed without brushing
• What happens: overnight, bacteria multiply and destroy enamel. And if food particles are left in your mouth… even worse.
• What to do: brushing before bed is a must!
Remember: healthy teeth are an investment in your confidence and beauty. Start taking care of your smile today so you don’t have to spend money on treatment tomorrow!
