Cold weather does more than dry out your skin. It can dry out your mouth too.
Indoor heat, dehydration, and seasonal habits can reduce saliva, which plays an important role in protecting your teeth from cavities and irritation. When your mouth stays dry, bacteria have an easier time sticking around.
Drinking water consistently and keeping up with regular cleanings can make a bigger difference than you might think. If dry mouth has been bothering you this winter, let us know at your next visit. 🦷💙
