Three Dental Myths Busted

The Truth About Oral Care

Let’s clear up some common misconceptions about oral health so you can keep your smile shining bright!

Myth: Brushing harder cleans better.

Truth: Brushing too hard can actually wear down enamel and irritate gums. A gentle, circular motion with a soft-bristle brush is all you need!

Myth: If your gums bleed, you should stop brushing.

Truth: Bleeding gums are often a sign of plaque buildup or early gum disease. Keep brushing and flossing gently, and visit your dentist for a check-up!

Myth: You don’t need to see a dentist if nothing hurts.

Truth: Many dental issues, like cavities and gum disease, can develop without pain. Regular check-ups help catch problems early before they become serious.
