After a year of work and worries, the time of well-deserved summer rest has finally come. You know, summer is also the desire not to think about anything, to spend the days by the sea or in the mountains without the hassle of all daily tasks.
A sweet doing nothing in which, however, one should at least avoid persevering in bad habits.
During the holidays, the time spent away from home inevitably increases, but this must not lead us to neglect our dental hygiene.
Think how traumatic it can be to ruin your vacation from a toothache!
Maintaining the frequency of cleaning your teeth three times a day would be a good habit even during the summer holidays, so never forget a travel toothbrush to always carry with you, even under an umbrella! If the memory does not want to remember it then it is good to always have a pack of sugar-free chewingum with you.
If during the year you have already undergone specific therapies, it is a good idea to schedule a check-up before departure to make sure everything is in place.
If you are a professional or experienced diver, remember that pressure surges could cause problems with teeth that are not perfectly stable or with old fillings.
However, attention is not exclusively recommended for sports lovers, on the contrary, even staying in the shade and sipping a drink requires compliance with some basic rules.
Ice cream, carbonated drinks, fruit juices are rich in sugars andfacilitate the increase in plaque by canceling the action of the toothbrush and therefore could favor the onset of caries.
Alcoholic beverages also hide another danger to the health of our teeth: the enzymes present in the mouth transform alcohol into acetaldehyde, a substance that can be very harmful to the tissues that support the gums.
Whoever has the problem of tooth sensitivity should avoid consuming iced drinks, the refreshment from the summer heat could cost pain and discomfort.
The long summer evenings that lead us to do the small hours also distance us from the will of brushing your teeth before going to sleep, but leaving food residue in your mouth at night means feeding it formation of tartar and bacteria, as salivation is lower during the night and does not help us in defense.
Clearly, among all the precautions that you need to have, it is important to also maintain a sober style, therefore we recommend avoiding opening beer bottles with your teeth or towing the skate with the rope between your teeth.
A magnificent smile is our most beautiful business card to combine with a seraphic face relaxed by the serenity of the holidays, to avoid breaking the magical spell of a time without worries, just do not neglect small and simple daily rules and take care of your teeth even on vacation.
For the rest you just have to have fun!
