If you’ve ever talked with us about the drinks that are good for your smile and then those that are not so wonderful, you know that water is always good and always beneficial for your oral health. You may also realize that you’re not getting enough of it lately. In addition to the fact that this can be bad news for your smile (and can promote dry mouth), it’s also bad for your body, which needs to remain hydrated. So, how to get more water into your daily routine? We’d like to help!
Carry Water With You
One way to drink more water is to actually carry it with you. You may choose to buy disposable water bottles. Or, you might invest in a reusable one that you can fill up whenever you have access to water. Having it on hand all day long means you’re more likely to sip throughout the day. As a result, you’ll be rinsing your smile consistently, which is always beneficial for your oral health.
Focus On The Right Amount
If you think you just need a glass or two of water daily, you might not be getting enough. If you like goals and figures, then it might help to know that you should be getting around 64 ounces of water on a daily basis. You can break it down however you wish! Just do your best to consume this much and your oral health and overall well being will benefit.
Swap Out Your Usual For Water
What do you usually drink with your lunch? Dinner? How about breakfast? If you’re feeling like you’re not getting enough water, try skipping the soda, juice, coffee, etc., and drink water instead. It’s an easy way to get a bit more H20 into your day!
