Need to Know: Alcohol and Oral Health
If you enjoy alcohol you should be aware of how it affects your oral health.
Key takeaways:
– Alcohol is acidic and can erode enamel so wait 30 minutes before brushing teeth after drinking.
– Sugar in alcohol increases the risk of tooth decay.
– Alcohol increases the risk of oral cancers.
If you drink alcohol keep hydrated with water. Make sure you brush your teeth twice a day and have regular check-ups with your dentist.
“Your dentist can perform an oral cancer screening during your appointment and talk with you about your risk for oral cancer.”
