Stay Hydrated to Support Saliva Production
Drinking enough water throughout the day is essential for maintaining oral health. Saliva plays a major role in protecting your teeth—it helps wash away bacteria, neutralizes acid, and supports healthy digestion starting in the mouth.
Aim to sip water regularly, especially after meals or snacks. If your mouth feels dry often, consider herbal teas or adding a slice of lemon or cucumber to your water for extra flavor.
