As the sunny days of summer approach, many of us are excited to get outdoors and engage in our favorite sports and activities. While staying active is fantastic for your overall health, it’s crucial to remember the importance of dental safety during these fun-filled days. Scarborough family dentist, Dr. Pavithra, and the team at Sandhurst Family Dental Clinic, want to remind you to protect your smile as you enjoy the summer sports you love.
Wear a Mouthguard: Whether you’re playing basketball, biking, or hitting the soccer field, a custom-fitted mouthguard is your best defense against dental injuries. Dr. Pavithra can provide you with a comfortable and effective mouthguard to safeguard your teeth during sports.
Stay Hydrated: Dehydration can impact your oral health. Be sure to drink plenty of water while participating in outdoor activities, as it helps maintain saliva production and keeps your mouth moist.
Oral Hygiene On-the-Go: Don’t forget to pack a travel-sized toothbrush and toothpaste in your sports bag. Maintaining good oral hygiene while on the move is essential for preventing dental issues.
By taking these simple precautions, you can enjoy your summer sports to the fullest while keeping your smile safe. If you have any questions or need a custom mouthguard, contact Dr. Pavithra at Sandhurst Family Dental Clinic. We’re here to ensure that your summer is filled with fun and free from dental worries!
