Not all dental emergencies can be prevented, but there are certain things you can do to be more proactive about your smile and keep it better protected. Whether it is maintaining a better oral hygiene routine, avoiding bad habits like smoking or eating ice, swapping out sugars and starches for healthier alternatives, keeping your regular dental appointments, or not using your teeth as tools, these can help to lower your risk and keep your smile damage-free.
