As the autumn chill sets in throughout Rehoboth Beach, we trade iced summer drinks for hot coffee and spend more time inside.. As you pull out your cozy sweaters, it’s also the perfect time to give your oral care routine a quick seasonal reset.
Here is a simple 3-step checklist to keep your teeth strong and healthy all autumn long.
1. A Simple Tip to Banish Coffee Breath
Coffee and tea consumption naturally rises with colder weather, however, they also dry out your mouth faster. Saliva is your mouth’s natural cleaning system, as it washes away loose food bits and balances bacteria levels. Sip a glass of water alongside your warm autumn drink to keep your mouth moist and wash off dark pigments before they stain.
2. Protect Your Teeth from Cold Sensitivity
Stepping outside into a crisp Rehoboth Beach breeze shouldn’t make your teeth wince! If you feel a sharp sting when breathing in cold autumn air, your tooth’s inner layer (dentin) might be exposed. As part of your preventive care, we can apply fluoride treatment to seal off the sensitive pathways.
3. Clear Out the Trapped Snacks Between Your Teeth
Fall is full of hearty, firm foods like apples, roasted nuts, and crunchy snacks. It’s easy for small pieces to get stuck in between teeth. However, they can feed gumline bacteria, leading to inflammation and tenderness. We know you hear it of the time, but please floss everyday! Flossing removes debris to prevent plaque and bacteria accumulation.
