Introduction
When it comes to oral care, misinformation is everywhere. Let’s clear up five common myths that could be putting your smile at risk.
1. “If My Teeth Don’t Hurt, They’re Healthy”
Many dental issues—like cavities or gum disease—don’t cause pain at first. Regular check-ups are the only way to catch problems early.
2. “Whitening Toothpaste Can Replace Professional Whitening”
Whitening toothpastes remove surface stains but can’t match the results of professional treatments, which penetrate deeper.
3. “You Only Need to See the Dentist If Something’s Wrong”
Preventive visits help stop issues before they start, saving you money and discomfort down the road.
4. “Brushing Harder Cleans Better”
Too much pressure can erode enamel and hurt gums. Use a soft-bristled brush and a gentle hand.
5. “Baby Teeth Don’t Matter Because They Fall Out”
Baby teeth hold space for adult teeth. Decay in them can lead to infections and affect future dental health.
Conclusion
Good oral health starts with good information. Don’t let dental myths steer you wrong.
