GOING OFF TO COLLEGE<\/strong> can drastically throw off a young adult\u2019s normal at-home routine. Brushing and flossing, making healthy eating choices, and keeping up with routine appointments can help students maintain a healthy weight and a healthy body; however, this can become difficult for some college students.<\/p>\n

Late Night College Life Can Be Hard On A Smile<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the biggest lifestyle changes for college students is the surge in late-night study sessions and all-nighters. To stay awake, many students consume large amounts of coffee, energy drinks, or soda. These can be super bad for teeth. Drinking plenty of water is one way to help reduce the risk of cavities and tooth decay caused by the increase in acidic and sugary drinks.<\/p>\n

At the end of these long stretches of caffeinated studying, it is important that students brush, floss and rinse before going to bed<\/strong> or starting the new day.<\/p>\n

Snacking is also common during late-night study sessions which can be detrimental to oral health. If snacks are<\/em> consumed, choose healthy ones. It\u2019s better to snack on things like dairy products, fresh produce and nuts<\/strong> than candy, dried fruit and other sticky, sugary foods.<\/p>\n

Wisdom Teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wisdom teeth come in during our late teens and early twenties. Our evaluation of patients\u2019 wisdom teeth growth and placement can be very important for college students. Together we can determine whether or not they need to be removed and can prevent pain and discomfort that could potentially interrupt studies.<\/p>\n

New Year, New Habits<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a new school schedule and a new lifestyle, students should be aware of new habits they\u2019re creating. How has sugar intake changed? Is brushing and flossing routine? Are regularly scheduled hygiene appointments being kept?<\/p>\n

During college, normal routines are disrupted, so if you\u2019re a college student (or if you know one to remind) be sure to keep up with regular exams and cleanings. We want to help you keeping your smile happy and healthy so you can focus on what\u2019s important\u2013your studies!<\/p>\n
