It is important to underline that it is never too late to take care of your mouth and the search for a healthy smile should never be postponed.
The year is finally ending and nothing more right than to celebrate. The routine right now is usually filled with fraternizations, secret friends, and get-togethers with friends and family. With so many happenings, it’s common to neglect oral health. However, it is important to underline that it is never too late to take care of your mouth and the search for a healthy smile should never be postponed.
The holiday season is good for rest and relaxation, but it can also be stressful. What many people don’t know is that stress can cause or worsen bruxism, the symptoms of which are waking up with a headache or jaw pain.
Many people clench and grind their teeth in their sleep, an ongoing problem that can wear down and even loosen their teeth. Studies show that patients with bruxism symptoms have a direct or indirect increase in emotional tension.
The ideal is to try to find the causes in everyday life, as any stressful situation can make the symptom worse. And that includes the holidays.
Thinking about it, we have separated some simple tips to put into practice so that you keep your oral health updated even during the end of the year period. Look down:
- Beware of hard foods
Chestnuts and walnuts, common elements in Christmas and New Year’s meals, require care when eaten, because, being harder foods, they can cause cracks or even break teeth. If you are undergoing orthodontic treatment, avoid it.
- Drink in moderation
Everyone knows that alcohol and a beautiful smile don’t mix. In addition to being bad for your overall health, alcohol decreases the amount of saliva in your mouth, causing bad breath. Also, red wine can stain your teeth.
- Don’t forget about hygiene
Nothing more right than having fun with family and friends in a long-awaited time of year. So if you don’t have any dietary restrictions, enjoy and eat whatever you want. Only then don’t forget about oral hygiene, see?
- drink lots of water
A golden tip not only for oral health, but also for the health of the body in general. In addition to keeping the body hydrated, water helps prevent bad breath and prevents the dreaded alcohol hangover.
