Do you have sensitive teeth in the summertime? Chlorination in pools is acidic and prolonged exposure (more than 6 hours per week) has been shown to soften and discolor teeth, yikes! Also, summer barbeques bring lots of tasty foods and beverages: sports drinks, beer and wine, lemonade, and soda have loads of sugar and can be acidic as well. Too much sugar can spell disaster to softened teeth! erosion and cavities, yikes! What to do? Drink plenty of water to neutralize acids, and wait at least an hour to brush your teeth after swimming/eating/drinking to preserve your enamel, floss reguarly after meals, and make frequent stops at the dentist for exams and cleanings!
