Did you know that cold weather can cause cracks to form in the enamel of your teeth? The dentin in your smile will contract when it gets cold. The cracks can seem like no big deal and may not impact the overall look of your smile; it can cause you pain.
Not only can the cold impact your teeth, but it can cause pain in your jaw area as well. As people are cold, they tend to clench their jaw; to avoid jaw pain, you will want to breathe in through your mouth and try to relax. While no one enjoys being cold, causing larger problems to your mouth can be a problem as well, requiring a visit to your cosmetic dental office. To avoid problems, always dress warm, and avoid being out in cold weather for long periods when you can.
