Make Sure You Stick To A Smile-Friendly Morning Routine

healthy breakfastYour morning routine can set your mood for the day. Some people are natural early risers who make the most of their time before their responsibilities need to be addressed, while others struggle to fully awaken unless they enjoy every minute of sleep available to them. No matter what your start to the day usually looks like, it should include time spent cleaning your smile. When we sleep, our bodies reduce saliva production, which allows any oral bacteria present in our mouths to multiply with less interference. If you frequently wake up with “morning breath,” this can be why. Cleaning your teeth thoroughly when your day begins fights this buildup. You can also protect your teeth by making smart choices at the breakfast table and limiting your sugar intake. Remember that our Celina, TX dentist’s office is happy to offer tips and guidance on daily care when you come in for routine dental appointments. (more…)
