Here are a few ways to take advantage of all that fall and winter have to offer. While these seasons can be time-consuming and stressful, make sure you take the time to do something that makes you smile!
Focus on Seasonal Foods
As the season changes, it’s
the perfect time to reevaluate your diet and focus on fall fruits and
vegetables. Apples, cranberries, carrots, cauliflower and spinach are just a
few foods that are in-season and generally cheaper around this time of year.
It’s a good idea to freeze, dry or preserve fruits and vegetables for the
coming winter months – they’re a wonderful source of vitamin C that keeps our
teeth and gums healthy. Eat up!
Cardigans are Key
You don’t have to sacrifice
style for warmth! Pair your summer tops with long cardigan sweaters for an
easy, cozy look that reuses clothes you already have. Cinch your waist with a
belt or add a long necklace for extra flair.
Get Some Sleep
Don’t let the stress of
life this season take a toll on your oral health. When experiencing stress and
lack of sleep, the body releases increased amounts of cortisol, which can be
harmful to the gums and surrounding gum tissue. Take time to exercise, eat a
balanced diet and get a full night’s sleep – having a healthy mouth is one
important factor in a totally healthy body!
The Cold and Your Teeth
Don’t let the cold keep you
from going outside! Nearly 40 million Americans suffer from sensitive teeth, a
condition that can worsen in the colder months. Sensitivity may be caused by
the wearing down of enamel or exposure of root surfaces, so it’s important that
you mention it to your dentist. You can trust that you’ll have a pain-free
brushing experience with Luster WHITE 7’s sensitive teeth formula.
Keep Your Holidays Bright
Fall and winter are
important months when you need to look your best. You’ll be meeting up with
plenty of extended family members and old friends that make you smile – so you
shouldn’t be afraid to show it. Start the season with Luster 1-Hour White for
results that will last for the rest of the year!
