Get back to your normal routine and get back to your habits: work or school, tidy up the house and, of course, a visit to the dentist. No one skips this check-up because so much leisure time and spending much more time outside the home leads us to neglect the frequency of brushing, flossing, and interdental brushes. During the months of July, August and half of September we increase our trips, trips, excursions, snacks, picnics, meals outside of normal hours, we stay up late and go to bed without brushing our teeth at night. This means more germs, bacterial plaque, the appearance of halitosis…
The risk of cavities is also greater and the enamel becomes more sensitive. The rise in temperature also has an influence: we are less hydrated, the amount of saliva is reduced, especially at night. In addition, during this period our diet also suffers, it becomes disordered and our diet becomes unbalanced because we drink more carbonated drinks, saturated fats, alcohol, coffee, sweets and ice creams… which directly worsen our dental health. You know, when you get back, don’t forget your favourite toothpaste.
