Cold weather can make teeth more sensitive, especially if enamel is worn or gums have receded. 🥶

Using toothpaste for sensitivity, a soft-bristled toothbrush, and avoiding very cold foods or drinks can help reduce discomfort.

Dental restorations are built to last, but they are not permanent. Fillings, crowns, and other treatments wear down over time from daily chewing, grinding, and natural aging.

Good oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and addressing issues early can help restorations last longer and keep your smile healthy.

After a big holiday meal, your teeth could use a little extra care. Rinsing with water helps wash away sugars and acids, and waiting about 30 minutes before brushing protects enamel after acidic foods.

Getting back to simple habits like brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and drinking plenty of water helps your smile recover quickly from festive treats.
