3 Summer Oral Care Tips From Our Calgary Dentist

While summer is a time for fun and relaxation, it’s important never to neglect your teeth and gums. Apart from making sure you visit your dentist for your yearly checkup, here are 3 other simple dental hygiene tips that will keep your teeth healthy all summer long:

1. Keep To Your Oral Hygiene Routine

During the summer, whether you’re on vacation or your children are out of school, it’s easy for your routine to fall to the wayside. Regardless, you should NEVER compromise your oral care regimen. No matter what, you must make sure that you and your family members brush their teeth at least twice a day and floss once, as this is essential for oral and overall health.

2. Limit Your Intake of Sugary Foods and Drinks

Summertime often means dinners with friends, drinks, and parties, but it’s important that you try to limit your intake of drinks with high concentrations of sugar. Drinks that will increase your risk of tooth decay and tooth erosion include:

• Sports drinks
• Lemonade
• Pop
• Juice

Summer Drink Tips For Children: If you have children, make sure they get plenty of water to quench their thirst. If you want to add some flavor, consider infusing it with chunks of fruit. You can also choose low-sugar varieties of your child’s favorite snacks, such as low sugar ice cream and juice.

3. Wear a Mouthguard When Doing Activities

During the summer, outdoor activities will always increase. From contact sports such as soccer and football to swimming, the risk of dental injuries is always higher in the summertime. Make sure your child wears their custom mouth guard to protect their teeth from damage.
