At no point in time should you ever neglect your teeth and gums. They are essential for numerous skills and functions within your mouth, so you should protect them at all costs. In addition, taking care of your jaw is also important as it plays a pivotal role in numerous functions as well. To this end, you should always be prepared for any tooth hazards and oral health risks that can arise.

It is important to be aware of the risks associated with tongue piercings. Tongue piercings are a form of mouth jewelry that is inserted directly into your tongue. Not only can this cause nerve damage. But it can lead to severe oral health ailments in the form of chipped or cracked teeth, oral inflammation, and infectious diseases. In addition, they can break off and cause choking hazards.

If you need a tooth hazard prevention device, consider a mouth guard. Mouth guards are extremely effective forms of protection for your smile because they can help diminish damage caused by oral accidents and injuries. They can protect and guard your teeth against chipping and blunt trauma that leads to knocked out teeth.

To keep your teeth strong, always avoid biting directly into hard products. This includes chewing on ice, biting into candy apples, or chewing on cough drops or other similar hard candies. Doing so can easily chip and crack your teeth, or lead to other severe dental damage in the form of tooth loss, or other ailments. As a general rule of thumb, do not bite into hard products.
