  1. How to Keep Your Teeth White as the Heat of Summer Rises

  2. We all know the potential effects of summer on our skin. What’s less known, though, is how summer affects our teeth. The challenges of summer and teeth are often due to the food and drink choices we make and changes to our dental habits. You can still enjoy most of your favourite foods and drinks this summer by remembering to keep on top of your oral hygiene routine. Today, your Brookwater Dentist, Redbank Plains Dental are talking about keeping your teeth white as the summer heat rises. Read on to discover how.

  3. Stay hydrated Yes, we mean with water and lots of it. Drinking plenty of water is one of the most important and easiest things you can do for healthy teeth and gums in the warmer months. Ice-cold carbonated drinks may look like a thirst-quencher, but they’re actually high in sugar and acidic, causing a dehydration effect and harming your teeth. If you do indulge in an occasional soft drink this summer, wash it down with water and a quick brush. Also, stay hydrated by moderating your alcohol. By no means are we saying you have to give it a miss altogether, but it’s a smart idea to alternate alcoholic beverages with water.

  4. Stick to your dental routine Summer often calls for holidays, barbeques, balmy evening parties and an overall change in routine. You shouldn’t let a good time get in the way of maintaining your healthy smile. If you’re travelling, set daily reminders to brush and floss, and don’t let late nights and the pressures of entertaining get in the way of your oral hygiene routine.

  5. Good oral hygiene involves: Brushing your teeth at least twice a day for 2 minutes, ● Flossing between your teeth after meals, ● Using fluoride mouthwash and toothpaste, ● Following a healthy, balanced diet, ● Replacing your toothbrush every three to four months, and ● Seeing your dentist for a check-up every 6 months. ●

  6. Teeth whitening If you already have stained teeth, teeth whitening might be an option for you. Your local Brookwater dentist will get you smiling again with our cost-efficient, confidence-boosting teeth whitening services. These are some of the food and drink culprits behind stained teeth: Red wine, ● Coffee and tea, ● Dark coloured berries, and ● Beetroot. ● While excluding or reducing the above will help your teeth’s colouring immensely, you can still enjoy these pleasures by following the above oral hygiene practices.
