If you have TMJ issues, you need to come here! All of the staff are very friendly, and Dr. Gunnerson is very knowledgeable. When I first came in, my jaw was locking all the time. Now, I have no problems at all!
Winter weather can put your smile to the test. From icy winds to dry indoor air, the season often brings discomfort in the form of tooth sensitivity and dry mouth. Thankfully, a few proactive steps and our restorative dental care at Gunnerson Dental can help you maintain a healthy, confident winter smile.
Cold weather can make sensitive teeth feel even worse. Combat this discomfort by switching to a toothpaste formulated for sensitivity and brushing gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
Avoid biting into extremely cold or hot foods, and instead, consume beverages at moderate temperatures to minimize enamel stress. Adding fluoride treatments to your routine can also strengthen teeth against seasonal triggers.
Dry indoor air combined with cold weather can leave your mouth feeling parched. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and consider using a humidifier at home to restore moisture to the air.
Chewing sugar-free gum or sucking on xylitol mints can also stimulate saliva production, offering relief from dryness and protecting your oral health.
The best way to protect your smile this winter is by sticking to your oral hygiene routine. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dentist for regular checkups. Professional care can help you address sensitivity, dryness, or any other concerns before they escalate.
