Lust
Lust is the sensation of extreme longing. Are you lusting for better teeth in your mouth? It's not uncommon to want to have straight, white teeth like those seen on models in the media. BUPA, a private health insurance company in the UK and Australia, reports that 42% of 2,000 people polled said that their teeth were the first thing they would change about themselves.
Envy
While lust is the desire to have better teeth, envy is the emotion you feel when you see people with better teeth. It is natural to what to have the same beautiful teeth that others have, but, only you can get yourself on the right path to achieve this.
Gluttony …show more content…
However, when you combine gluttony with sloth, then dental decay quickly takes hold.
Greed
Like gluttony, greed impacts your teeth when you take more than you need at the dinner table or from the snack bar. Sour gummy lollies, for example, are sour because they are coated with acid! This lolly has sugar which feeds dental bacteria, gumminess which sticks to your teeth, and acid for the sour factor. Get greedy eating these and your teeth suffer.
Sloth
Sloth is the sin of being without care, which also equates to laziness when it's time to care for your teeth. Do you regularly skip cleaning your teeth at night or in the morning because you just don't have the time, or you're too "tired." Brushing your teeth removes the bacteria which turn live off food particles left behind after eating. They produce plaque which leads to dental decay. The bacteria are also responsible for your stinky morning breath!
