While it&#039;s not a substitute for it, it&#039;s true that <strong>Drinking water helps us maintain the quality of our saliva<\/strong>. In this way, we can largely counteract the effect of consuming certain foods and also the effect of not being able to follow certain oral hygiene habits.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Los_efectos_del_alcohol_en_nuestra_boca\"><\/span>The effects of alcohol on our mouth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This summer, before ordering another beer on the terrace, it&#039;s important to consider the <strong>effects of alcohol on both the mouth and the body<\/strong>. Alcoholic beverages do not hydrate; on the contrary, a dry mouth is much more vulnerable to bacterial action than a hydrated one. <strong>Choose water to truly refresh yourself<\/strong>, to replenish the fluids that the body loses through sweat and maintain correct saliva levels.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFHay_mas_fuentes_de_hidratacion\"><\/span>Are there other sources of hydration?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A very important factor to keep in mind is that water should be our body&#039;s primary source of hydration. Although all beverages contain a varying percentage of water, the other ingredients may not only fail to hydrate us but can also be harmful to our oral health.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>An example of this is the traditional drinks of the summer months. <strong>sugary drinks<\/strong> They are tempting because of their sweet taste and refreshing effect. However, these drinks have some<strong> sugar levels that exceed the recommended daily dose<\/strong>. Both soft drinks and smoothies and juices with added sugar are very harmful, since their high sugar content increases acidity levels in our mouth, facilitating the action of bacteria.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Regarding food, the <strong>Consuming vegetables and fruits will help us maintain good body hydration<\/strong>; However, it should be noted that the acidity of citrus fruits can also damage our tooth enamel.\u00a0<br \/>In our <strong>Dental clinic in Valencia<\/strong> We recommend that you do this both in summer and during the rest of the year. <strong>Drink two liters of water a day<\/strong>.
