Paraffin embedded in the surface of the tooth will make small particles of food-particle attaches easily. This condition will create a good breeding ground for infectious bacteria reproduction, so the use lipstick regularly can cause infections that create small cracks or cavities formed in the tooth enamel.
In this study, researchers conducted tests on 10 brands of lipstick is quite popular. Apparently, obtained some of these products can cause an increased risk of dental disease and other dental problems.
