National Ice Cream Month!

July has arrived, which mean it’s also National Ice Cream Month! At Amundson Dental Associates, we always have a sweet tooth when it comes to Dairy Queen! Some of our favorite flavors include cookies & cream, chocolate chip, and strawberry. We also love to drizzle on some tasty toppings like Hershey’s chocolate syrup, fudge, and caramel. So yummy!

However, when it comes to your oral health, sugar and sugary drinks are more likely to make your teeth decay due to the acidity. For this reason, we encourage staying on top of your oral hygiene routine. After consuming a sweet treat, wait 20 minutes to allow the pH to neutralize before spreading acidity with a toothbrush.

If you’re looking for some healthy alternative to sweets and sugary summer drinks, we recommend some refreshing cucumber water or sparkling flavored water! When in doubt, drink more water.

From all of us at Amundson Dental Associates, we hope you have a safe and fun-filled summer! If you need to book a visit with us, give our office a call at (701) 772-0171. We look forward to seeing you soon!
