Winter dryness and your oral health

Cold weather often leads to dry lips which can lead to mouth breathing. When the mouth becomes dry, plaque accumulates more easily and gums can become irritated. Hydration and a basic lip-care routine help maintain oral comfort during the winter months.

* Gums that look redder or puffier than usual?
* Your breath just isn’t fresh, no matter what you do?
