Winter has\narrived. Cooler temperatures, holiday music, and festive parties aren\u2019t all\nthat come with this season. Many people also suffer from various issues with\ntheir oral health during this\ntime of year. Your dentist can help treat winter mouth issues in Kenner. Read\non to learn more about resolving these three\ntroublesome problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tooth Sensitivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many\npeople begin to notice they have sensitive teeth in Kenner as the winter season approaches.\nThis is because the teeth are adapting to the cold air after being exposed to\nwarmer temperatures for a majority of the year. Tooth sensitivity is a common\ncomplaint of those who spend a considerable amount of time outdoors during the\nwinter months. A good way to reduce this sensation is by breathing through your\nnose. By doing this, your teeth\nhave less exposure to cold air and remain at a more comfortable temperature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple cider, hot chocolate, and cappuccinos all do a great job\nof lessening the blow of the frigid air to the body, but they may also be\nresponsible for an increase in tooth sensitivity. Try drinking warm beverages\nthrough a straw so your teeth have minimal exposure to extreme temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you find tooth sensitivity to be especially bothersome, you\nshould also look into purchasing a toothpaste made specifically for sensitive\nteeth. The ingredients in this type of toothpaste protect the teeth from\nsensitivity to extreme temperatures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dry Mouth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dry mouth can be a big issue during winter. Cold and flu season is\nin full effect and this can lead to lots of drainage and congestion. Add a\nstuffy nose on top of that and you may have to breathe through your mouth until\nyou fully recover. This can make your mouth extremely dry and can also affect\nyour breath. If your mouth breathing lasts for an extended period of time, it\ncan also lead to tooth decay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ways to combat dry mouth include upping your water intake and\navoiding caffeinated beverages, as these can lead to dehydration. Steam showers\nand humidifiers can also open up the nasal passages and allow you to breathe\nthrough your nose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chapped l<\/strong>ips <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This condition is very common as temperatures drop. Cold air and\nwind can wreak havoc on your lips. The best way to avoid chapped lips is by\nkeeping them moisturized. Applying lip balm prior to spending time outdoors is\na great way to protect your lips from the elements. Drinking water is another\nway to keep your lips hydrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following these tips can allow you to enjoy the winter months\nwithout having to worry about your oral health. If you have any questions on\ncombating winter mouth issues, please contact your dentist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
