Make sure your smile stays healthy these school holidays!

Caring for your teeth is important, especially when you are on holidays at the beach! Here are some tips to help you maintain great teeth these school holidays!

• Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Brushing your teeth helps remove plaque and bacteria that can cause tooth decay and gum disease
• Clean between your teeth daily using floss or interdental brushes. Cleaning between your teeth helps remove food particles and plaque that your toothbrush can’t reach
• Eat a healthy, balanced diet and limit added sugar intake. Consuming sugary drinks and snacks can increase the risk of cavities and other dental problems
• Drink plenty of water daily. Drinking water helps rinse away food particles and bacteria that can cause tooth decay and gum disease
• Avoid using your teeth as tools to open bottles or packages. Using your teeth as tools can cause chips, cracks, and other damage to your teeth
• Chew sugar-free gum. Chewing gum stimulates saliva production, which helps neutralize acid and prevent tooth decay
• Choose light-colored or clear beverages. Dark-colored beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine can stain your teeth over time

By following these tips, you can help maintain good oral hygiene while enjoying your holiday at the beach. Remember to schedule a dental checkup at Elation Dental, Croydon South before and after your holidays to ensure your teeth are fantastic!
