☀️ Summer is here and staying hydrated does more than help you beat the heat- it plays an important role in your oral health, too.
Water helps wash away food particles and bacteria, supports healthy saliva production, and neutralizes acids to reduce enamel erosion. When you're dehydrated, saliva flow decreases, which can increase your risk of cavities, bad breath, and gum inflammation.
As temperatures rise, make water your beverage of choice and give your smile the support it needs all season long. 💧
