This time of year is full of cozy treats and seasonal favorites, but your teeth can feel the impact! From pumpkin spice lattes to caramel apples, sugary foods and drinks can increase your risk for cavities. Cooler weather can also make sensitive teeth more noticeable, especially when enjoying hot drinks or seasonal soups.
Here are a few ways to keep your smile healthy and bright this fall:
🍬 Limit sugary drinks and snacks — enjoy seasonal flavors in moderation.
🦷 Rinse or brush after indulgences — helps reduce plaque buildup and protects enamel.
🪥 Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste — especially important if your teeth feel extra sensitive in colder weather.
💦 Stay hydrated — water helps wash away sugars and acids.
