In large parts of Russia came hot days. Weather has temperature records, and it is more important not to forget that water is an essential part of the human body. Our body is 60-75% water, and every cell in the body necessary for normal functioning of the water. The teeth on this issue is no exception.
In our mouth is about a milliliter of saliva if the water balance is in the normal range. Saliva acts as a buffer that neutralizes the pH-level in the mouth when we consume food and drinks. It also does not allow too simple tartar deposited on the tooth surface that prevents destruction tooth enamel . And just as all of us need saliva to help in the process of chewing and digestion of food, it is also necessary to rinse the teeth with leftovers.
But when our body is dehydrated (a condition called xerostomia ), Then there is a feeling in the mouth dryness. Xerostomia It can lead to difficulties with speech, swallowing, burning sensation and hoarseness. Lack of saliva causes many problems for the teeth, including erosion tooth enamel and further tooth decay.
"I do not think that all people fully understand the importance of saliva in the mouth, - says professor of family dentistry at the University of Iowa Dr. Anna Diaz-Arnold. - This realization comes later, when the body begins dehydration, and mouth, so to speak," dry " . Saliva is vital for healthy teeth, so I strongly recommend not to forget to maintain the water balance in your body. On hot days, drink lots of fluids. I recommend plain water or cold tea. Remember that orange juice is harmful to tooth enamel . If you can not do without the drink, at least to drink it through a straw. "
