It’s Getting Hot Out There, So Don’t Forget The Water!

As the temperatures continue to rise, it is critical that you are drinking enough water in order for your body and your mouth to stay hydrated. Once you begin to feel a dry mouth it is too late. You are already dehydrated and in need of even more fluids. So, how can you ensure that your mouth and your body is getting enough water this summer? Follow these simple 3 steps and you’ll be well on your way to ensuring that your smile is not impacted by dry mouth and dehydration.

1.     Always carry a water bottle with you. Having a water bottle in your purse ensures that you are remembering to fill it up when you are out and about and doesn’t require you to purchase water.

2.     Eat fruit for meals and in between meals. The water concentration in fresh fruits helps to provide the water content in between drinking water.

3.     Utilize fresh fruits and vegetables in your water to add flavor. Drinking plain water can be boring and can be a problem when it comes to motivating yourself to drink more water. By putting some fruits and vegetables in there, it can keep you excited about drinking water for days.

4 Benefits to Having Veneers

Are you looking at improving the look of your smile this summer? Concerned over the family photos that will be taken at reunions and BBQ’s. Well now you have a solution. Veneers are a tooth colored porcelain that is cemented comfortably over your existing teeth. You may be a candidate for veneers if you have stains, cracked or broken teeth, or you have an uneven gum line.

1.     They look and feel like your natural teeth and are shaped to look like natural teeth when you smile.

2.     If you struggle with whitening your teeth due to sensitivity, veneers can accomplish that goal. They can restore your smile to be beautiful and your teeth to be white again. They are largely stain resistant so, you can go ahead and enjoy that morning cup of coffee. 

3.     They can improve the overall aesthetic look of your smile. Years of wearing down your teeth due to bruxism or other dental problems can recreate an even and healthy looking smile.

4.     Veneers can improve your enamel. If you have damage to the enamel on your teeth, it can cause sensitivity, and other problems. Placing veneers on your teeth helps to give them back their armor to protection against drinks and other food items you consume that usually cause sensitivity.

So, go ahead and get that facelift for your smile and feel comfortable sharing it with friends and family this summer at your next BBQ. Contact Dr. Judy Strutz for more information.
