Blog Article

Winter in Canberra brings chilly air, cozy heaters and warm drinks, but it can also pose challenges for maintaining healthy teeth during winter. Cold temperatures and dry air can lead to sensitivity, dry mouth and gum issues.

To protect your teeth, maintain consistent oral hygiene by brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and flossing regularly. Use a toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth and avoid sudden temperature shocks from hot or cold foods. Stay hydrated, chew sugar-free gum and consider using a humidifier to combat dry mouth.

A balanced diet with crunchy vegetables, calcium-rich foods and vitamin C can strengthen teeth and gums. Schedule regular dental checkups to address potential issues early.
