Apple Valley dental clinic Dakota Dental reminds families to maintain good oral health this summer by eating fresh produce and staying prepared for dental emergencies.
Apple Valley, MN, USA (June 30, 2015) — Summertime is the perfect time to leave the comfort of the couch and enjoy the warm weather, outdoor sports and activities, and in-season fruit and vegetables.
Dakota Dental dentists in Apple Valley, Minnesota are taking this opportunity to remind individuals and families to take advantage of all the season has to offer but to be mindful and cautious about potential oral health hazards.
When it comes to picnicking, Dakota Dental family dentists suggests passing up or limiting the salty chips and carbonated drinks in favor of the wide variety of fresh fruit and vegetables available.
From melons to berries, tomatoes and peppers, cherries and corn, the variety of summer health foods is practically endless. By eating fresh foods, a person is taking in essential vitamins and minerals like folate, calcium, and vitamin C-all important to building bones, fighting diseases, and recovering from injuries.
Regardless of what foods are enjoyed during summer activities, brushing one’s teeth after (and flossing especially after eating corn on the cob) will maintain good oral health and better breath. In addition to tucking some toothpaste, floss, and a toothbrush in the picnic basket or sports bag, be sure to also tuck in Dakota Dental’s contact information.
Dental emergencies most often occur without warning so it is essential to have an emergency dental clinic on speed dial. Dakota Dental emergency dentistry and general dental services are available by appointment by calling 952-431-5774.
