You may think that once the heat of summer has gone away and we’re onto cooler temperatures, you don’t need to worry about drinking water anymore. Sure, you still need to drink some but it’s no longer a worry, right? Well, not exactly. While you may not be perspiring as much, it’s still very important for your oral health and your dental care that you keep up with your water intake. First, because your body needs a lot every day in order to remain hydrated (which helps keep your mouth hydrated). Next, of course, because rinsing your smile is very beneficial!
Summer ends and you realize you’ve been having such an incredible time that it is actually showing on your teeth! If stains developed or worsened, you may figure that you just have to get back into the swing of optimal dental care and that you should just do some extra brushing. However, this isn’t quite accurate. While you do need to get back to dental hygiene basics, if you fell a bit short, getting your smile healthy and vibrant again is something you need to do by visiting our team!
Did you miss your summer checkup and cleaning? You may think that this is one of those instances in which you should just wait for the next one. However, we don’t encourage this. Instead, we recommend that you come in as soon as possible, so the time you go without a professional exam and smile cleaning is as short as can be! Get in touch with us and we will help you sort out getting your visits consistent once again, so your oral health benefits!
