Who wouldn’t want to spend the summer sipping on iced cold drinks and indulging in decadent ice cream sundaes?

Sadly, chilled and sweet as these summer treats may be, they’re also high in sugar and acid content that may wear down the protective layers of your teeth, exposing the sensitive inner dentine.

This may lead to tooth sensitivity making you avoid ice creams and ice-cold lemonade in the summer. But why miss out on the foods you love, when you can easily manage the twitches in your teeth?

Here are some tips about foods and dental care, so that you can have the best summer ever!

Water it down.

You may have your favourite food which has sugar but you must remember to drink water regularly and rinse your mouth after every meal. If you want to brush your teeth after eating, you may want to wait an hour since your teeth might be temporarily softened immediately after a meal.

Eat right.

Certain foods are good for your teeth and can be enjoyed throughout the year. These include calcium rich food such as dairy products, and cheese, green tea, vegetables rich in Vitamin A, celery, sesame seeds, protein rich foods and of course, lots and lots of water.

Brush right.

When it comes to avoiding or managing tooth sensitivity, it’s good to go soft and slow on your teeth. Also, add flossing to your dental routine. If you are already suffering from tooth sensitivity, it’s advisable to switch to a Sensitivity care toothpaste like Sensodyne, India’s #1 dentist recommended sensitivity toothpaste.

Call the dentist.

You may be on a summer break, but your teeth aren’t. Remember to schedule an appointment with your dentist for your routine check-up and especially if you’re suffering from the twitches of tooth sensitivity.

See, enjoying your summer is as easy as that. Have fun!
