3. Chewing Ice
It may hydrate you—making ice-chewing great for post-op recovery—but it also can lead to potential chipping or cracking and inflame the tissue beneath teeth leading to toothaches.
4. Grinding
Jaw grinding or bruxation is the kind of habit you may not even be aware that you have, as it often happens at night during hours when we sleep. If your partner or your dentist thinks this is a problem for you, consider being fitted for a night guard or perhaps hypnotherapy to keep your own body from destroying tooth enamel and messing up your jaw and your bite.
5. Drinking Juice
Despite the possible Vitamin C boost, drinking juice instead of water exposes your teeth to a whole lot of unnecessary sugar, which accelerates tooth decay.
