When temperatures rise, staying hydrated becomes a top priority for overall health. But what many people don’t realize is that drinking water—especially in the hot summer months—plays a critical role in maintaining oral health. From preventing dry mouth to washing away harmful bacteria, water is one of the simplest yet most powerful tools for protecting your teeth and gums.
Most people focus on brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups to keep a healthy smile. While these habits are definitely important, they are only part of the equation. What you eat also plays a big part in your oral health as it influences everything from enamel strength to gum health and even your risk of cavities.
