Winter is coming!
In winter, freezing temperatures and cold air can affect the teeth causing them to become increasingly sensitive. Drier air, hot treats, snowball fights and more can put teeth at risk for damage. Here are some dental care tips to keep your children healthy and happy during the winter.
In winter, freezing temperatures and cold air can affect the teeth causing them to become increasingly sensitive. Drier air, hot treats, snowball fights and more can put teeth at risk for damage. Here are some dental care tips to keep your children healthy and happy during the winter.
- Don’t Over Brush: Brushing teeth too often can wear away the enamel and actually damage the surface of the tooth.
- Use a Mouth Guard: While enjoying winter sports, you'll need to provide protection from physical damage.
- Use a Fluoride Mouthwash – Use a mouthwash that contains fluoride at least twice a day to rinse away debris, kill odor causing bacteria and help protect the sensitive enamel.
- Encourage Good Dental Habits:
Brushing twice daily and flossing once a day is really important in protecting kids during winter. - Also make sure to take your kid to a pediatric dentist regularly and stay healthy in the winter.
