2. Putting your pearly whites through a temperature rollercoaster
Pairing pizza with a cold drink is tasty, we admit it, but have you ever crossed your mind what it means to your pearly whites? No? Well, when we eat something hot, our tooth enamel expands, and, on the other note, getting in contact with cold temperatures, it contracts.
The regional dental director for the Jefferson Dental Clinics in Dallas, Leslie Renee Townsend, DDS, says that eating something really hot and then drinking a cold drink is bad for your teeth. Especially when you start feeling pain. Don’t ignore this sign.
People describe the pain as a shooting, so if it happens to you too when you’re putting your pearly whites through a temperature rollercoaster, call your dentist! And, yeah, get rid of this harmful habit!
