The refreshing summer is here!

This season invites incredible open-air fun, traveling, and sports. But this does not mean we should get loose with our oral well-being. In fact, summer can be an extraordinary time to assist your family to brush up on propensities to keep their teeth solid all year long.

Here are a few tips for keeping your family's teeth shining this summer and beyond.

 

Remain in a “ROUTINE”

It is important to keep your oral well-being on track. Consider making a fun chart to keep track of morning and evening brushing as well as everyday flossing. Figure out what plan or rewards work best for your family. Keep up with it to avoid any chance of dental issues in the long run.

 

Say “GOODBYE “to sugary snacks and drinks

Whether you are heading to a beach or just going out to enjoy some sun, you can easily consume snacks like chips, candies, sodas, and treats without even realizing it. These choices are packed with sugars and can lead to tooth decay and cavities over time. Instead, we suggest consuming apple slices, blocks of cheese, grapes, and nuts to stay energized all day long. One of the best drinks is water. But because of its plain taste people are not fond of it. Most individuals try to go for fruit juices and smoothies to beat the heat. These drinks are full of sugar and can cause a sudden spike in the insulin level. Therefore, to stay hydrated, try infusing water with some lemon, mint, and citric fruits. This would be the most perfect way to replace other sugary liquids.

 

Say “HELLO” to mouth guards:

If you or your family are active in summer sports, make sure to protect your teeth and utilize mouth guards. Sports wounds regularly result in chipped front teeth, broken tooth roots, and cut lips.
