Protecting
your teeth is a lot like preparing for a spring or summer trip; most
of the safety habits and tips to protect your skin and body prior to
basking in the sun are comparable to those for your teeth. However,
instead of guarding against sunburn, heat stroke, dehydration, and
swimming injuries, you’re preventing tooth decay, dental fractures,
and other teeth ailments.
Protective
Layers
As
a counterpart to sunscreens or rash guards, fluoride strengthens your
teeth against acids that cause tooth decay. Dental appliances like
mouth guards also offer protection from teeth grinding and possible
traumatic collisions during sports and other intense activities.
Hygiene
Just
as hygiene is important when you’re swimming in public pools or
beaches, oral hygiene is vital to keep the teeth clean and healthy.
Brushing and flossing should be a strictly kept routine to promptly
remove factors that weaken dental structures or trigger the growth of
bacteria.
Diet
Similar
to good water intake and healthy food choices for being in tiptop
shape, nutrition plays a role in the strength and appearance of your
teeth. Foods rich in calcium like dairy products and low in acids and
hard debris – unlike coffee, sodas, and popcorn – are generally
preferred.
The
Dentist
Your
dentist is your ‘lifeguard’ in any oral health concern. Whether
you want to maintain healthy teeth or revive them to their pearly
glories, your dentist has the necessary knowledge and skills to
protect your teeth and the overall health of your mouth.
