Your smile can be kept healthy by
having healthy dental habits. While brushing and flossing is critical to keep
your smile as healthy as possible, you also need to drink water regularly to
keep your mouth from drying out and visit your dentist on a regular basis. If
you fail to drink water, bacteria can grow rampant in your mouth causing more
difficult problems. It is recommended you drink at least 1 oz of water for
every pound you weigh. If you live in a warmer area or are exercising, it is
even more important to drink water.
Without fluids, or consuming
fruits and vegetables that have a high water concentration, food it left in the
mouth. Fluids are a great way to decrease the amount of time food is left on
your tooth enamel. The less time that
food has to stay on your teeth the less likely you are to be impacted by
cavities and tooth decay.
Water can also be mixed and
infused with fruits and vegetables. This makes sure you are consuming the
nutrients you need to keep your healthy smile and also be tasty. For more
