Precautions for Healthy Teeth on Jeongwol Daeboreum

Bureom is an event in which people crack nuts such as peanuts, walnuts, chestnuts, and pumpkin seeds with their teeth, praying for a healthy and happy year ahead. However, recent research findings have shown that cracking bureom may have a negative effect on teeth.

Experts said, "Cracking bureom can damage canines or molars, and children, pregnant women, and the elderly should be especially careful. If you have cavities or periodontal disease, you should avoid cracking bureom."

If your teeth are damaged while cracking bureom, first stop the bleeding and protect the damaged tooth. After that, it is recommended to keep it in water, milk, or saline solution and visit a dentist as soon as possible for treatment.

As Jeongwol Daeboreum approaches, it is important to pay attention to keeping your teeth healthy. Before cracking bureom, make sure to understand the condition of your teeth thoroughly and take appropriate measures. Dental health affects our overall health, so careful choices are necessary.
