Knowledge Isn't Enough; Are You Drinking Water?

 

Last week, we focused on a few things you could do to rejuvenate your brushing and flossing habits. Welcome to our 8 part series on Knowledge isn't enough. This is our 3rd part, and this time we are focused on the importance of drinking water. We will talk about the benefits and how you can add more water to your diet to improve your dental health. 

 

Water is the life source for your smile. It washes away the food from the day, decreases problems from dry mouth, and if your water has fluoride in it, it can help prevent cavities. Fewer cavities equal a healthier smile and a happier you! How do you add water to your diet without it taking you? 

1. Start with 2 minutes a day. Yep, that's it; for 2 minutes out of your day, focus your energy on drinking a glass of water. 
2. Start with your 2 minutes being a time in the day that makes the most sense for you. Maybe first thing in the morning, hop out of bed and grab that class of water. Or leave a glass by your bedside. 
3. Use a glass you love. Using a glass that makes you smile or brings you joy can make the experience more fun. It truly is the little actions you take that can make the most significant difference.
