Summer Dental Tips for a Healthy, Bright Smile

Written by Dr. Holly Nadji • Jun 13 • 1 minute read

Summer is the season of sunshine, vacations, and sweet treats—but it’s also a time when your dental routine can take a hit. Whether you’re traveling or enjoying more cold drinks and snacks, it’s important to keep your smile in shape. Here are a few easy tips to protect your teeth all summer long:

1. Stay Hydrated

Hot weather means more sweating—and staying hydrated isn’t just good for your body, it’s great for your mouth. Water helps wash away food particles and keeps your saliva flowing to fight bacteria.

2. Limit Sugary Drinks & Snacks

From ice cream to soda, summer is full of sugary temptations. Try to enjoy these in moderation, and rinse your mouth with water afterward to reduce the sugar's impact on your teeth.

3. Pack a Travel-Sized Dental Kit

Heading on vacation? Don’t forget your toothbrush, floss, and travel-sized toothpaste. Keeping up your routine on the go prevents problems later.

4. Protect Your Smile During Sports

If you’re playing contact sports or swimming often, consider wearing a mouthguard to avoid accidental chips or breaks.

5. Schedule a Checkup

Summer is a great time to catch up on dental cleanings—especially before the back-to-school rush or fall events.
