7 Signs You Have Bad Oral Hygiene
- 1. 7 SIGNS YOU HAVE BAD ORAL HYGIENE You know who you are!
- 2. 1. You’re too lazy to brush at night. • Brushing your teeth in the morning is fairly easy considering you’ve got things to do, people to see, and a desire to get rid of that morning breath. • However, if you’re that person that is always too tired to brush at night, or that thinks that brushing once a day is enough, you might want to rethink your oral hygiene habits.
- 3. 2. Flossing…what is that exactly? • It’s a miracle if you floss once a month, let alone once a day. • If you do ever muster the energy to floss, your gums bleed from sensitivity because, well, you never floss. • This in turn makes you never want to floss again.
- 4. 3. The feeling of candy sticking to your teeth doesn’t bother you. • We all love to eat those sweet, sticky candies (like caramels, taffy, sour gummies, etc.) every once in a while. It’s those who don’t mind leaving the sugary, sticky residue on their teeth that need to worry. • It’s the acid in sugar that causes cavities, and those with good oral hygiene can’t stand the thought of leaving such a sticky, icky substance on their teeth.
- 5. 4. You could go a whole day without brushing your teeth. • So you forgot to brush your teeth yesterday. What’s the big deal? Missing one day of brushing here and there doesn’t matter, right? If this is your thought process, you have bad oral hygiene.
- 6. 5. You’ve had more cavities than you can count. • It’s true that even people who take really good care of their teeth still get cavities. • However, there’s probably a good chance that those who don’t take good care of their get even more cavities than those who do. • If you can’t remember how many cavities you’ve had in your life, that’s probably not a good sign.
- 7. 6. Your teeth are starting to look yellow. • Are you starting to notice a yellowish tint to your teeth? Everyone’s teeth gets stained over the years—it’s inevitable. If you’re still pretty young, though, and your teeth are noticeably yellow, you need to work on improving your oral hygiene.
- 8. 7. You can’t remember the last time you had a dental check-up. • If you haven’t been to the dentist at least once in the past year, that’s too long. • If you haven’t been at all in the past 3-5 years, that’s way past too long. • Not regularly visiting the dentist shows that you’re not that passionate about keeping your teeth and gums healthy.
- 9. Good Oral Hygiene is Vital to Your Overall Health • There’s more to oral hygiene than preventing cavities and having a pretty smile. When you take good care of your teeth, you’re also taking good care of your body. Untreated gum disease and other dental problems can lead to serious health problems like heart disease and strokes.
