What if simple habits like mouth breathing or drinking diet soda are quietly ruining your teeth?
In today’s episode, I sat down with Dr. Erin Sheffield, a dentist, to explore how things like mouth breathing, dry mouth, and diet sodas contribute to tooth decay. Dr. Sheffield shared how mouth taping can help protect your teeth at night by reducing the effects of mouth breathing, and we discussed why fluoride in toothpaste plays a key role in remineralizing enamel. We also touched on some natural alternatives like Hydroxyapatite toothpaste for those wary of fluoride.
Beyond just brushing and flossing, we talked about how making smart choices today can save you from expensive dental work down the line. Dr. Sheffield also emphasized the importance of preventive care, especially when it comes to making informed decisions about your oral health.
Key Takeaways:
-
Taking care of your teeth isn’t just about brushing twice a day.
-
Don’t base your dental care decisions solely on insurance coverage.
-
Diet sodas, even without sugar, are still very acidic and can erode enamel over time.
