Soon, you\u2019ll be heading out on vacation for some well-deserved rest and relaxation. In the midst of enjoying yourself, you want to maintain your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccdentalmarion.com\/for-patients.html\">oral health<\/a>. To ensure that your teeth and gums remain in good condition, a dentist in Marion says follow these 5 simple tips!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1 \u2013 Drink Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Technically, you should be drinking at least half your body weight in ounces of water. That means that a 200-pound person would need to drink at least 100 ounces of water to be properly hydrated. This guideline is especially important to follow during summer. Drinking an adequate amount of water will help your body produce more saliva, which plays an integral role in flushing your mouth of lingering debris and bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2 \u2013 Always Keep Mouthwash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vacation schedules can be hectic. If you\u2019ll be on the go quite a bit, it\u2019s a good idea to keep some mouthwash on hand. This can be quite helpful when you don\u2019t have time to brush and floss your teeth after a snack or meal. Rinsing with mouthwash serves as a temporary way to flush away debris and bacteria until you can perform your normal dental hygiene routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3 \u2013 Cutback on Carbonated Beverages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although many carbonated beverages are tasty and refreshing, they can be detrimental to your oral health. The acids they contain can contribute to wearing down your tooth enamel (the hard-outer part) and leave you vulnerable to developing cavities. If you choose to treat yourself to a bubbly beverage, be sure to brush and floss around 30 minutes afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4 \u2013 Use a Straw<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you decide to sip on some lemonade, an adult beverage or a carbonated drink, you can lessen the effects on your teeth and gums by using a straw and finishing the drink quickly. Not only will this help to decrease any tooth damage, but it will also limit the chances of any staining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5 \u2013 Satisfy Your Sweet Craving with Fruit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s something about being on vacation that makes your tastebuds scream for sugar. While it\u2019s okay to occasionally indulge in desserts and other sweet treats, it\u2019s important to monitor your intake. Sampling some of the region\u2019s delicious fruits is a much healthier way to satisfy your sweet craving and support your oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By implementing these summer oral health tips, you can be sure that when you return from your vacation, your teeth and gums will be in good shape. That\u2019s a win-win situation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Aras Mortazavi earned his dental degree from The Ohio State University.
