THE SNEAKY, CREEPY CRACKED TOOTH: WHAT HAPPENED?!
In all my years practicing dentistry, Iâve noticed a greater number of cracked teeth during the Holidays. Why? We tend to be more distracted, stressed and eat foods that can bring about the final blow to a compromised tooth.
Most people are not âdentally-wokeâ â only paying attention to their teeth when they brush (usually for less than the recommended time) or smiling for a selfie or a family photograph, or when they have difficulty chewing something they love to eat or if they want their teeth looking good for social or business reasons. Add that often dental problems donât hurt until itâs too late, and you start getting the picture.Â
