Why summer is the perfect time to address your oral health and dental care

Summer is a season of fun, fresh starts and, dare we say, plenty of social gatherings. Having a healthy, radiant smile boosts your confidence and makes you feel photo-ready for every occasion. Here are a few reasons why now is the ideal time to book your dental treatments:

Social confidence: with more social events on your calendar, a bright smile can leave a lasting impression.

Extra daylight: longer days means you are more motivated to schedule your appointments at your favourite Christchurch dental clinic – strike while the iron’s hot.

Proactive self-care: summer, especially after the new year celebrations, often feels like a fresh chapter—perfect for prioritising your health and well-being, including dental care.

Invisalign: stress free teeth straightening

Dreaming of a straighter smile but hesitant about traditional braces? We hear you: Invisalign braces offer a discreet, effective solution. Using clear, custom-made aligners, Invisalign gradually corrects misaligned teeth with minimal disruption to your lifestyle.

Benefits of Invisalign braces:

• Virtually invisible aligners ensure a subtle, natural look.

• Removable trays make eating, drinking, and oral hygiene easy.

• Faster results compared to traditional orthodontic braces.

At our Riccarton orthodontics clinic in Christchurch, we specialise in Invisalign treatment. Our experienced Invisalign dentists guide you through every step of the process, from the initial consultation to completion. Start your journey today and enjoy noticeable improvements by the time summer ends.

Tips for maintaining your smile 

Once you’ve achieved your perfect smile, keeping it in top shape is essential. You may be familiar with some of this advice, but it is always worth revisiting:

Stay hydrated: drinking water and staying hydrated are essential for maintaining optimal dental health. Water helps wash away food particles and bacteria, reducing the risk of plaque buildup and cavities. It promotes saliva production, which is crucial for neutralising the damaging acids which helps protect tooth enamel. Staying hydrated also reduces the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

Practice consistent and good oral hygiene: brush your teeth twice a day as a minimum (ideally after each meal too) and floss daily – as an adult, you will have heard this many, many times each time you visit your dentist. Regular visits to your local Christchurch dental clinic prevent minor dental issues from becoming major expensive problems.

Limit sugary treats: Summer often brings sweet indulgences but try to enjoy them in moderation.
