It\u2019s simple: it\u2019s good for your oral and overall health. A healthy mouth is a well-hydrated one, as your saliva naturally washes away the food particles, acids, and bacteria that collect on your teeth and gums throughout the day. Your mouth needs plenty of fluids to produce enough saliva.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the many good things that happen in your mouth when you drink enough water include:<\/span>\n<ul>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fresher breath<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleaner teeth and gums<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduced plaque buildup<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower risk of cavities and gum disease<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Much Water to Drink<\/span><\/h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For years the conventional wisdom was to drink 8 glasses of water a day. Now, though, the recommendation is simpler &#8212; to drink<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when you\u2019re thirsty<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For a lot of people, that ends up being about 8 glasses of water each day anyway. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People who suffer from dry mouth need to drink even more bottled water. Dry mouth is a side effect of many medications. Smoking and tobacco use are also commonly associated with reduced saliva production and related oral health problems. <\/span>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tap or Bottled? What About Bubbles?<\/span><\/h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does it matter whether you drink tap or bottled water? Not really &#8212; but one of the great things about tap water is that it\u2019s free, widely available, and also contains fluoride, the mineral that is well-known for remineralizing the teeth to protect your smile from damaging acids and bacteria. You can find bottled water that contains fluoride to enjoy the same benefits. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soda water is also booming in popularity across the US, and while it can make a nice refreshing treat in the afternoon, we advise against rehydrating with carbonation throughout the day. Fizzy drinks (even sugar-free ones) throw the pH balance of your mouth off and weaken your tooth enamel. To get all the fantastic benefits of water, choose still. <\/span>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make H2O Part of Your Routine!<\/span><\/h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes down to it, drinking water is a habit. If you have a hard time remembering to hydrate throughout the day (and many adults do), invest in a reusable water bottle that you can fill up again and again with tap or filtered water &#8212; for the good of your oral and overall health! <\/span>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About the Authors<\/span><\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.drbc.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Andrew Nawrocki and Dr. David Brown<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are experts in restorative and cosmetic dentistry.
