So, you think you take perfectly good care of your teeth? If you can make it through this list without feeling guilty and brush and floss regularly, consider your oral health in tip-top shape!
Smoking. Cigarettes lead to bad breath, discolouration and a higher risk of oral cancer. More so, the popular alternative known as vaping is still harmful to your mouth as nicotine restricts blood flow to the gums.
