The warmer months call for leisurely days\nspent relaxing by the pool, hanging out with family and friends, and an\nabundance of outdoor activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be easy to get lost in all the excitement of vacation,\nbut don\u2019t neglect your teeth as a result. Maintaining healthy habits is\nessential to keeping your mouth as fresh and clean as possible. Here are five\nsummer oral health tips to help you enjoy a bright summer smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay Hydrated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping your body hydrated is crucial, especially when\nyou\u2019re spending lots of time out in the hot, summer sun. Not only can water\nquench your thirst, but it can also improve your oral, and overall, health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Water washes away bacteria and food particles, which helps\nprevent plaque buildup and bad breath. It\u2019s best to drink fluoridated tap water\nbecause fluoride strengthens your enamel, making your teeth more resistant to\ndental decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protect Your Lips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people overlook protecting their lips from the sun, but\nthey are just as susceptible to sunburns as other parts of the body. They\nrequire extra care because the skin is thinner and contains less melanin,\nmaking it vulnerable to sun damage and increasing the risk of oral and skin\ncancer. You can prevent sunburns by wearing a moisturizing lip balm with an SPF\n30+ rating and reapplying every two hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoid Chewing Ice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Popsicles are a traditional summer treat. What better way to\ncool down in the hot weather than with a delicious snack? Unfortunately, eating\nice can damage your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brushdentist.com\/request-an-appointment.html\">oral health<\/a>.\nIt can cause cracked or chipped teeth and erode your enamel, which puts you at\nrisk of tooth decay and can cause increased sensitivity to hot and cold\ntemperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Limit Your Sugar Intake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re relaxing under the sun, it can be tempting to\nsip on a sweet drink or snack on ice cream or a popsicle. However, these\ndelicious foods and treats are loaded with sugar, which means bad news for your\nteeth. Consuming excessive amounts of sugar can lead to dental decay, cavities,\nenamel erosion, and an increased risk of tooth sensitivity and gum disease. Reach\nfor fresh fruits and vegetables instead, or if you must give in to your sweet\ntooth, try sugar-free alternatives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Up with Your Oral Hygiene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may fall out of your usual routine once summer hits, but\nadapt to your new schedule and establish a new daily oral hygiene regimen. As\nthe weather gets warmer, many people consume more sugary foods and drinks,\nwhich means it\u2019s <em>especially<\/em> important to stay on top of your oral care\nduring the sunny months. Brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing daily is\nessential to a strong and healthy grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use these tips to keep your smile bright and radiant, and\nenjoy your summer knowing you\u2019re helping your teeth look <em>and<\/em> feel their absolute\nbest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Practice<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brush Dental takes the time to get to know each patient and listen to any concerns, so you can have a positive experience that will leave you smiling after each visit.
