Allergies & Plaque Buildup
Signs of spring can bring more than flowers in bloom for people with allergies. Sneezing attacks and running noses can make life pretty miserable, even when the sun is shining. That's why a lot of allergy sufferers turn to antihistamines for relief. What many people don't know is that many allergy medications can cause problems in your mouth. Antihistamines may do a good job of drying out runny noses, but they also dry out your mouth. That means less saliva to wash away debris from your teeth. Over time the plaque will build up around teeth and gums and cause cavities. If you are taking antihistamines, the best remedy is to drink plenty of water and keep your mouth moist. Brushing and flossing after each meal will keep your smile healthy and stop plaque from getting a hold of your teeth.
