Importance of Oral Health in Summer
Summer is a time of vacations, outdoor activities and changes in routine. These changes can affect our oral hygiene and increase the risk of dental problems. It is crucial to maintain good habits to avoid complications. Here are some recommendations to enjoy the summer without neglecting to take care of your teeth.

Recommendations:
It is very common to observe, especially during the summer, that patients tend to CHEW THE ICE CUBES that remain in the glass. It is crucial to AVOID this habit because it causes dental fractures and
enamel wear.
- Drink plenty of WATER: It keeps your mouth hydrated and helps eliminate food residue and bacteria.
- Avoid SUGAR-SWEET AND ACIDIC DRINKS: Limit consumption of soft drinks, juices and energy drinks.
- Eat FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES: Rich in water and fiber, they help clean teeth and gums.
- Avoid sticky and sugary foods: Opt for natural alternatives such as sugar-free yogurt and nuts.
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss daily.
- Take your ORAL HYGIENE KIT: Include a toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss and mouthwash in your suitcase.
- CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS may be more exposed to dental risks during the summer due to changes in their routine; therefore, establish an oral hygiene routine: Supervise brushing and flossing.
Maintaining good oral health during the summer is essential to prevent dental problems and maintain a healthy smile. By following these tips, you can enjoy your vacation without compromising your oral health.
