Summer is starting to wind down, which means that you have just a few weeks left to enjoy all the summery things you may have missed out on. However, if you\u2019re scrambling to fit as much fun as possible into a small amount of time, you still shouldn\u2019t neglect your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are actually several ways that you can damage your teeth this summer\u2014if you want to avoid an emergency trip to the dentist\u2019s<\/a>, here are some things you ought to watch out for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Dental Emergencies at the Pool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Swimming is a must in the summer\u2014here in Texas, the heat is basically intolerable otherwise. If you\u2019re taking a trip to the public pool, you should keep in mind that there are several things that may go wrong. Running by the pool or diving into the shallow end can lead to all kinds of accidents, including a chipped tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you\u2019re careful, there are also other swimmers to consider. Children in particular aren\u2019t the most conscious of their surroundings, and someone may suddenly emerge right next to youand bump right into your teeth. For these reasons, you should follow all pool rules and be sure to think about what people near you are doing while you\u2019re swimming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summer Foods That Teeth Aren\u2019t Fans Of<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ice cream and popsicles are hard to resist this time of year, but the sugar in them can cause serious cavities. While indulging every once in a while isn\u2019t a problem, you should be sure to brush your teeth thoroughly when you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, there\u2019s one habit that picks up this time of year that\u2019s terrible for oral health: chewing ice. This scrapes away your enamel, and in some cases can even crack a tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oral Health Hazards of Dry Mouth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s easy to become a little bit dehydrated in the summer, which is pretty bad for your oral health. This reduces saliva production, which means that food particles aren\u2019t broken down as efficiently. As a consequence, you may have an excess of bacterial buildup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should be sure that you\u2019re staying hydrated this summer\u2014carry water with you, especially if you\u2019re going to be outside for any amount of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
