  1. 7 Dental Care Tips to Follow During Winter

  2. Best Ways to Avoid Dental Health Problems This Winter • Winter is usually associated with Christmas festivities. But this is also the time when you are susceptible to various ailments such as fevers, colds, coughs, and even dental issues. • Indeed, biting cold may increase your chances of teeth sensitivity, canker sores, cracks inside the teeth, and other ailments. • By visiting our dental office in Brampton and adopting a few preventive measures, you may be able to avoid dental issues and stay healthy. • Try the following oral care tips for a healthier mouth and teeth this winter.

  3. Visit Your Dentist You should see your dentist regularly to maintain your dental health. But the need for this visit increases during the coldest months. Exposing your gums and teeth to harsh cold weather may cause various dental ailments, so a checkup can detect any serious dental issues early. Minor ones may become serious if ignored, so book your checkup in case a dental treatment is required.

  4. Drink Plenty of Water Not drinking enough water in winter can impact your dental health as it leads to dehydration that reduces saliva production. The key function of saliva is to wash away food particles from teeth and fight harmful bacteria that can cause infection. So, drink plenty of water in winter to stave off bacteria that may damage your teeth and gums.

  5. Change the Way You Brush Your Teeth • Brushing your teeth is important to maintaining good oral hygiene. But especially in winter you need to give special emphasis to the way you brush them. • First, brush at least twice a day to fight infection-spreading germs. Use a toothbrush with soft bristles as hard ones may damage the outer enamel layer. • If you have sensitive teeth, use toothpaste recommended for that condition. Also, keep a gap of 30 minutes to one hour between consuming your meal and brushing your teeth.

  6. Pay Attention to Your Gums • Be sure to take proper care of your gums in winter. As mentioned, many people suffer fever, flu, and colds in winter, and the bacteria causing these ailments can also cause gingivitis or chronic gum infections. • So, don’t ignore the first signs of gum issues like inflammation or redness. Instead, use a good antibacterial mouthwash to prevent any gum disease or infection. If you avail yourself of our expert dentistry in Brampton, you will receive prompt and proper care.

  7. Cover Your Neck as Well as Your Face Use winter scarves that will not only keep your face as well as neck warm but also protect your gums and teeth. Face masks come in handy now especially. Failing to keep these body parts warm may lead to major damage to your gums, jawbone, and teeth.

  8. Always Wear a Mouth Guard During Sports Is your child on a hockey team? Maybe they’re playing basketball at school? Then make sure they wear a high-quality mouth guard. Dental injuries can result from an errant puck or basketball connecting with their mouths, necessitating emergency dental services.

  9. Limit the Consumption of Hot Chocolate • Everyone loves hot chocolate in winter, but the sugar can damage teeth. So, if you crave hot chocolate this Christmas, try the sugar-free version. • If you are suffering from a sore throat and want something soothing to drink, prepare tea without sugar. If you do choose hot chocolate, prepare it with milk so your teeth gain the benefit from its calcium.

  10. Bonus Tip: Wash Your Hands Frequently • Cold sores in the mouth occur mostly during the winter months, and cold temperatures may trigger a painful reaction. That’s why you should wash your hands frequently in order to avoid germs infecting your mouth. Frequent hand-washing also helps stave off the seasonal flu. • Whether enjoying winter festivals with your family or keeping warm by the fire, don’t forget to take care of your dental health during these colder months. That includes brushing your teeth, covering your face, and staying hydrated. Doing so will reduce your risk of dental issues while having a wonderful time.
