Not Feeling Well?
As always, if you’re not feeling well, and have an upcoming appointment, please give us a call to reschedule. While you’re at home resting, here are some helpful oral health tips from the @AmericanDentalAssociation:
- Throw away your brush once you are feeling better: Replacing your brush head ensures you get rid of lingering bacteria.
- Stay hydrated to avoid dry mouth: Drink plenty of water, as dry mouth can also put you at greater risk for cavities.
- Choose sugar-free cough drops: Many cough drops contain sugar, making them equivalent to sucking on candy.
- Choose the right fluids: Water is always the best choice. To replenish electrolytes, drink sports drinks in moderation due to sugar content.
