There are tons of wonderful things to be said about spring. You can certainly hear this season mentioned lovingly in songs, in poetry, and more. However, when it comes to the way it affects your smile and oral health, you might have a few bones to pick with this otherwise beautiful time of year. Find out how the post-winter months might affect your teeth and gums and how to make it all better.
#1: Spring Is Social, How’s Your Smile?
Yes, there are social events throughout the entire year. However, spring is well-known for overwhelming amounts of love-related celebrations from engagements to weddings and more! You’ll be outdoors, you’ll be smiling, and you’ll want a white smile. Contact us to learn more about how our cosmetic care can help you look your best.
#2: Spring Is Allergy Time, Are You Congested?
If you suffer from seasonal allergies during the spring season, you know that you might go from free, easy breathing to moments of congestion. Unfortunately, blocked airways can actually negatively impact your oral health by promoting or aggravating the following:
- Sleep apnea
- Dry mouth
- Sore throat
- Sinus pressure and tooth pain
#3: How Are You Dealing With #2?
Okay, so technically this is an extension of the second thing we’ve examined here, which is the fact that seasonal allergies can cause some problems for your oral health. For some, the problem is easily rectified with some careful lifestyle choices and the use of over-the-counter allergy pills. However, if you’re someone for whom the entire spring season brings non-stop congestion, come talk with us. We will help you manage dry mouth and more.
