Happy Fourth of July!

It’s summertime and the livin’ is easy – long, hot lazy days … dips in the pool … backyard BBQs … staying up late to chase fireflies … Even during this laid-back season, it is important to remember the importance of maintaining good dental health.

Vacation Mode

School is out for summer, which means it is vacation time! Whether you and the family are taking day trips to amusements parks and the beach, or packing up for a few weeks at the lake, the regular daily routine goes by the wayside. And while a break from the norm is an added perk during the summer, be sure to still remember to brush and floss every day, as well as visit the dentist for regular cleanings and check-ups.

Fun in the Sun
Summer means being outside and PLAYING: running around the yard planning catch, games of volley ball on the beach, and boogie boarding the waves. All this physical activity is wonderful for kids and grown-ups alike, but it can also pose a risk to your teeth. According to the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), mouth guards prevent over 200,000 injuries every year

Icy Cold Treats
To beat the heat and stay hydrated, some frosty summer favorites include lemonade, ice cream cones and Italian ice. While tasty and refreshing, these classic treats are also loaded with sugar, which is the leading cause of tooth decay. To protect your teeth from cavities, try sticking with cold ice water and fresh fruits and veggies instead.

Enjoy summer and remember to take good care of your smile while you are at it!
