This summer, your kids are looking forward to sunshine, warm weather, and outdoor activities. Knowing this, we want to share some tips for maintaining your healthy smile this summer.
Stay Hydrated
A dry mouth is a symptom of dehydration. A dry mouth is also a good home for harmful bacteria, which cause gum disease and cavities. Drinking water is good for your smile and good for your overall health, too.
Stay Covered
Whether you are playing sports for an AAU team, a travel team, or your company’s softball team, you should protect your teeth against injuries. The best way to do that is by wearing a custom mouthguard, which we can make for you as part of our general dentistry.
Stay Consistent
You need to keep up your oral health by having a regular oral hygiene routine. That starts at home with your daily brushing and flossing. It also should include professional cleanings and exams a few times every year.
