You can start your day with healthy, smile-friendly choices, or you can make decisions that are less beneficial. Different people will have different morning routines, based on their responsibilities, and how long it takes them to feel alert. If your morning routine involves effective preventive dental care, and a breakfast that limits sugar, you can give yourself a better chance at avoiding cavities. However, if you frequently fail to brush, and cram in a sugary breakfast on your way out the door, you may have the misfortune of learning you need treatment for a cavity at your next dental exam.
Your Choice Of Beverage Can Create Cosmetic And Restorative Concerns
The drink you choose at breakfast can have an influence on your smile. Frequent drinkers of coffee and tea can see their teeth dull over time thanks to a buildup of stains. If the problem is serious enough, you may need to seek professional whitening treatment in order to make your smile bright again. Orange juice can provide vitamins, but its acidic nature can soften your enamel, making it more likely you will experience tooth decay. That softening can also make it easier for your teeth to pick up stains.
Watching Out For Sugar
You may find it hard to avoid sugar if you choose convenient breakfast items like doughnuts, pastries, or even some cereals. Taking time to prepare something healthier in the morning can have oral health benefits, along with benefits to your general health.
Improving Your Morning Oral Care Routine
Simply put, you need to keep up with good daily oral care habits if you want to avoid restorative dental work. Make sure you leave enough time in the morning to dedicate at least two minutes to brushing, so your teeth are fully cleaned.
