Now that summer is right around the corner and the weather is
warming up it might be easy to reach for that high sugar fruit drink or ice
cream instead of water. Avoid this pitfall and instead drink fruit flavored
water and keep your smile healthy. High
fructose drinks not only can cause problems with cavities and other dental
problems, but can also cause your mouth to dry out. Dry mouth is an open opportunity for bacteria
to get out of control and attack your tooth enamel.
Water with fruit in it not only gives you a refreshing drink to
quench your thirst, but it can also provide a snack that is low in sugar and
carbohydrates which can also impact your smile. Once you are feeling the impact
of dry mouth, it is easy to reach for the closest and easiest drink at your fingertips.
Avoid this problem by planning head.
Using a refillable water bottle can ensure that you are never far
from the water you need to consume. Depending on your weight, where you live
and how active you are will determine the amount of water you should be
consuming.
