2. http://thedentalbarn.co.uk/ • The chances are you like to keep your mouth engaged in munching snacks, sweets, and sugary foods. • Don’t worry, that’s not a big deal for your teeth and dental health. • Sweet foods don’t necessarily get your teeth into big trouble but your bad dental habits certainly do. • While most people blame chocolates, candies and other sweet treats for their painful teeth, bad breath, sore gums, and bad oral health, obtaining a healthy mouth and a carefree smile is a matter of daily care and hygiene maintenance.

3. http://thedentalbarn.co.uk/ • Often passed around by individuals who are scared of dentists or have the fear of dentistry or receiving dental care, here are a few common dental care myths that may be killing your pearly whites by building a pool of misconceptions. Myth#1: Whiter Teeth are the Healthiest • Although a widely held misconception, pure white teeth may not necessarily be a sign of good oral health. Healthy teeth can be associated with a wide range of natural shades that may vary from person to person.

4. http://thedentalbarn.co.uk/ Myth#2: Too much Sugar can Harm Your Pearly Whites • Sugar alone can’t harm your teeth but with oral bacteria and acid that erodes your enamel, it can take a toll on dental health. • Natural sugars contained in nutritious foods can be as damaging to your teeth as sugar-added soft drinks and sweet treats. • What’s important is to brush and rinse after eating in order to prevent sugars to hide in between the teeth and produce harmful acids.

5. http://thedentalbarn.co.uk/ Myth#3: Brushing Bleeding Gums can Worsen Them • After knowing that bleeding gums are an early sign of plaque that causes inflammation and gum disease, leaving your bleeding gums alone to heal over time would be the last thing you might want to do. • While you might try not to brush too hard or brush at a certain angle in case you have sensitive gums, it is necessary that you do in order to remove plaque, bacteria and unwanted food particles.

6. http://thedentalbarn.co.uk/ • In addition, there are many other myths surrounding dental health and care that need to be drilled out only to be avoided. • The best way to do it would be consulting a certified dentist to clear your misconceptions and achieve proper dental care.
