However, winter could also be such a beautiful time in the year to make memories that you will cherish for a long time. This is because it allows you the luxury of so many bonding opportunities with friends, family, and loved ones.

Thankfully, this article will teach you some fantastic winter healthy mouth tips to help you appear with the best smile.

More people today realize that cold weather can also affect a person’s oral health, just as a drier climate can have some effects on the skin. This is why dental health professionals from the dental spa advise that while snuggling up to protect your body from the cold this season, you should also remember to pay special attention and care to your teeth. Doing this will help to protect you from some common oral health issues like dry mouth and tooth sensitivity that often gets worse during dry or cold weather. Some dental health tips that will help you immensely will be discussed below.

Top Dental Health Tips for the Winter Season

  • Ensure that Your Lips are Always Moisturized

One of the effects of winter on your mouth and dental health is that the cold temperature can cause the delicate skin around your lips to dry out, making them easier to break or chap. Luckily, though, you can prevent this for your lips by ensuring they are always adequately moisturized.

To achieve this, you can apply a lip balm that contains SPF on your lips daily. The balm will protect against the harsh weather for your lips. Drinking enough water daily will also help keep your skin moisturized and prevent dry mouth or lips breakage. This is because it will maintain your body hydration and make it more difficult for your mouth to feel dry.

  • Get a Mouth Guard

If you are the type of person who loves adventure, you cannot wait to get out in the cold for some unique winter experiences like snowballing, hockey, etc. Then getting a mouth guard would be one of the best decisions to make for yourself this winter. A mouth guard will help protect you from injuries to your mouth while you are out playing in the cold. It is reported that sports-related injuries make up the majority of facial/dental injury causes yearly. So, you want to ensure that your mouth is adequately guarded as you step out to play.

Moreover, most dental facilities or stores offer these mouth guards for quite affordable prices.

  • Use Fluoride-based Toothpaste for Brushing Sensitive Teeth

 If you always feel an acute sensitivity in your mouth when you want to eat some hot or cold food during winter, you should not ignore the signs. This is because it might be a pointer that you have some sensitive teeth. This often happens when your teeth enamels have broken down, leaving some sensitive tissues under it exposed.

In such cases, you should visit a dentist who would diagnose you and prescribe treatment like using fluoride-based toothpaste to brush your teeth daily. This type of toothpaste contains specific ingredients that will help to protect you from such sensitivities.

  • Remember to Keep Warm

Wearing an anti-cold Jacket before you step out or snuggling under a blanket while at home to protect yourself from the cold are some normal activities that go with the winter season. So, you are probably already doing them. However, what you might not know is that keeping warm during the winter also has some dental benefits, especially for people with TMJ and other dental disorders. This is because it is often normal for the body muscles and joints of people with such issues to tense up during cold weather. This could affect their mouth too. To avoid this, it is always best to keep warm during winter.

  • See Your Dentist

It is always necessary to pay regular visits to your dentist for dental check-ups and treatments to maintain healthy teeth. So, always make sure to fix appointments with your dentist regularly, irrespective of what time of the year it is, whether summer or winter.

Conclusion

Maintaining good dental health for yourself and your family can be pretty beneficial to your general well-being. This article has discussed some tips to help you care for your mouth during the winter season.
