Happy National Coffee Day!! Here are some tips on how to protect your teeth when you have your morning cup!
Drink Water: Rinsing your mouth with water after drinking coffee can help wash away residual liquids and sugars.
Limit Sugar and Cream: Reducing or avoiding sugar and cream can lessen the food source for bacteria and reduce the risk of decay and inflammation.
Brush and Floss: Brush and floss your teeth after drinking coffee to remove stains and plaque. It;s important to WAIT AT LEAST 30 minutes after drinking coffee to brush, allowing the acidity in your mouth to neutralize first.
Use a Straw: Drinking coffee through a straw can help reduce its contact with your teeth.
Regular Dental Visits: dental cleanings and regular check-ups are crucial for removing stains and maintaining overall oral health. :)
