The days are getting longer, and the sun is shining brighter \u2013 two signs that summer is approaching. That means it will soon be time for you to head out on vacation. While enjoying some much-needed rest and recuperation, you still want to maintain your oral health<\/a>. As you continue reading, a dentist in Dublin lists 5 ways to protect your teeth and gums!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1 \u2013 Drink Plenty of Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No matter what time of the year it is, it\u2019s important to drink the proper amount of water, which is half your body weight in ounces. For example, a 200-pound person would need to consume at least 100 ounces. It\u2019s especially important to maintain proper water intake while on vacation, as you\u2019re likely to eat more sugary foods. By drinking an adequate amount of water, you\u2019ll aid in your body\u2019s production of saliva, which helps to flush your mouth of leftover debris and bacteria after a snack or meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 \u2013 Keep Mouthwash Handy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While on vacation, there may be times when you\u2019re constantly moving about. This can make it harder to maintain your usual dental hygiene schedule. For those times when you\u2019ll grab a quick bite and then head to your next destination or event, be sure to keep a bottle of mouthwash handy. Therefore, you can flush away some of the remaining food and beverage particles and freshen your breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 \u2013 Beware of the Bubbles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As tempting as they may be, it\u2019s best to limit your consumption of carbonated beverages. They are loaded with acids that can eat away at your tooth enamel and leave you more susceptible to developing cavities. If you choose to indulge from time-to-time, be sure to perform dental hygiene afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4 \u2013 Use a Straw<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the times when you treat yourself to a more acidic beverage like lemonade or a carbonated drink, try using a straw and finishing the drink quickly. Not only will this help to decrease any tooth damage, but it will also limit the chances of any staining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 \u2013 Eat More Fruit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Will you be visiting a tropical climate? If so, don\u2019t settle for satisfying your sweet tooth by only eating desserts, pastries and other potentially detrimental treats. Take the opportunity to sample some of the region\u2019s delicious fruits. They\u2019ll have far less of a negative impact on your teeth and gums. In some cases, eating the fruits will help to clean your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the purposes of these summer oral health tips is to highlight the fact that you don\u2019t have to ruin your vacation fun just to maintain your oral health. Nor do you have to settle for choosing foods and beverages that could harm your teeth and gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By taking a more mindful approach, you can enjoy yourself thoroughly, while maintaining a healthy and beautiful smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
