There is an old proverb that we understand the value of teeth only when we lose them. This is definitely true as we pay the least attention towards our dental hygiene. We do not pass on the good oral habits to your kids too. As a result, majority of families reports that one or two of its members suffer from dental problems irrespective of age. But does that mean we need to be panicky about swollen gums, bad breath, bleeding gums and sore gums? Perhaps, not! This is because there is treatment for every sort of dental problem. So, the question of being anxious does not arise. Even then we remain tense assuming that we may have dental problems in future! Here we bring some common myths regarding dental problems which frighten us the most. Watch out! • Flossing is dangerous There is a common belief that flossing is an extremely bad practice as it increases the gap between teeth. Eventually, it affects our aesthetic appeal. You should not believe it as such myths lead to graver dental problems. On the contrary, the dentists suggest that people who floss at least once every day are less prone to gum diseases. This is because the flossing action removes food particles which get accumulated in the inter-dental spaces. • Visiting a dentist is extremely scary Actually, most of us think of visiting the dentist only when we suffer from intense dental problems. In turn, the dentist either advises tooth extraction which is associated with Bleeding Gums or recommends pain killers which make us weak! Thus, we associate visit to a dentist with a traumatic experience. But this is a myth as regular visit to the dentist prevents dental problems. In addition to it, consulting a dentist timely also inhibits the aggravation of painful symptoms associated with dental problems. • A tooth loss is irreparable damage In an age of medical advancement tooth loss is not an all an irreparable problem. So, believing in such a false notion is unwise. We agreed to it that some acute conditions of periodontal diseases cause permanent teeth loss and patients cannot retrieve back their original teeth, but there is something called cosmetic dentistry. The original teeth can be replaced with that of an artificial one flawlessly, and you cannot the slightest guess that it is fake teeth! • Dental problems are exclusively associated with poor dental hygiene Although poor dental hygiene is one of the causes of dental problem, it is not at all the sole reason. Rather, bad habits like smoking, chewing tobacco and betel nut are some of the factors that invite dental problems. Poor diet intake, stress and improper brushing also cause Sore Gums problems.
