Drinking plenty of water\nthroughout the day clears out toxins from your body, boosts your energy levels,\nand helps maintain a strong immune system. However, did you know that water protects\nyour oral health as well? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allensmiledesign.com\/meet-your-dentist.html\">Your Allen dentist<\/a>\nexplains four ways drinking water benefits your smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.) Water Strengthens Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Consuming sugary or acidic foods and beverages wears away\nthe minerals that keep your teeth strong and healthy. As the sugars and acids\nbegin to erode your enamel, your teeth become weaker and eventually develop\ntooth decay. Thankfully, most tap water is fortified with fluoride. When\ndrinking tap water, the fluoride is absorbed by your enamel and used to replace\nthe minerals your teeth have lost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.) Water Cleanses Your Mouth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While that first sip of soda or juice may taste refreshing,\nthese sugary beverages leave behind a sticky residue in your mouth. Not only is\nthis substance brimming with sugars, but it traps other bacteria and food\nparticles as well. On the other hand, drinking water actually dislodges\nlingering particles and cleans away any leftover residues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.) Water Has No Calories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you think of calories, you probably think of\nweight-loss and dieting. However, high-calorie snacks and drinks play a key\nrole in the health of your mouth as well. Items high in calories often contain\na lot of sugar, which weakens your teeth and leads to cavities. Not only does\ndrinking water strengthen teeth and wash away sugars, but it won\u2019t cause tooth\ndecay either! So if you\u2019re craving unhealthy foods, try filling up on water\ninstead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.) Water Prevents Dry Mouth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that saliva acts as your body\u2019s natural\nmouthwash? Your saliva rinses over your teeth throughout the day, which hinders\nthe accumulation of plaque and bacteria. It also transports important minerals\nlike calcium and fluoride to your enamel to keep your teeth strong. In a dry\nmouth, your enamel softens and bacteria grow rapidly. When your mouth is dry,\ndrinking water clears away the particles collecting on your teeth and strengthens\nyour enamel. What\u2019s more, staying hydrated encourages saliva production and naturally\ncombats dry mouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Staying hydrated benefits your entire body\u2014including your\nsmile! Be sure to drink plenty of water this summer to keep your oral health in\ntip-top shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Dr. Tonie Lewis of Allen Smile Design has over 15 years\nof experience in providing excellent oral healthcare that meets and exceeds\nexpectations.
