We get it. Oral hygiene is probably not something that you find yourself talking to your buddies about on the weekends. You probably don’t watch YouTube videos of teeth cleanings. That’s why Cove Family Dental in Copperas Cove is here to offer you only the information that you really need to know to keep both your mouth and body as healthy as possible.
Your Teeth Are Not Tools
It’s super handy to just have a mouth full of jar-openers and label-peelers and tag-rippers, right? No! Men’s teeth are just as delicate as anyone else’s and you can damage the enamel, leaving them sensitive to both heat and cold. At the worst, you can break off a tooth and need a painful extraction of the pieces left. So stick with tools outside your mouth, please, and save your teeth for food.
Tooth Pain
If you have a painful or sensitive tooth, don’t just try to suck it up and deal with the pain. While it could be something minor, it could also be a sign of a serious problem such as root damage or severe gum disease. The longer you try to “live with it” the more dangerous it could become, even leading to potentially life-threatening situations.
