In regards to oral health, when we don't drink enough water, one of the first signs is obviously thirst, as well as dry mouth. This can lead to a number of serious dental issues if it becomes persistent. Rinsing and FlushingAnother thing about water is that it can benefit oral health in ways other than drinking it. Rinsing with water after eating, instead of brushing or even using mouthwash can be highly effective in loosening and washing away food particles following a meal. If you haven't been drinking enough water, our first suggestion would certainly be to make sure that you increase your daily amount. Eight, 8 oz glasses per day is the accepted rule. Our second suggestion would be that you come and visit our office the next chance that you have, to see what the condition your oral health is in. |
