Getting in shape is almost always a good thing. Doing what you can to feel your best and make your body more mobile is something that just about any health professional will recommend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you aren\u2019t careful, exercise could potentially damage<\/a> your oral health (indirectly, anyway). If you\u2019re wondering what to watch out for, here are some of the dangers to your teeth associated with exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Dry Mouth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you really start exerting yourself, it\u2019s natural to spend a lot of your time breathing through your mouth. Over time that can start to dry it out, reducing the amount of saliva you have to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This saliva is ordinarily used to break down food particles and to neutralize the pH of the mouth, which is important in preventing tooth decay and gum disease. Without that saliva, you could wind up at greater risk of these oral health problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re breathing through your mouth, make it a point to stay hydrated. This will supplement the saliva you\u2019ve lost and prevent the buildup of bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugary Drinks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While you\u2019re staying hydrated, however, you should still be careful about what it is that you drink. Sugary sports drinks can be tempting, but the more of them you put in your mouth the more that you feed the bacteria that live there. This problem can be exacerbated by mouth breathing, which dries out the mouth and leaves these sugars on the teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re working out and need to rehydrate, try and stick with water. You\u2019ll be able to keep your energy up just fine, without the need for sugars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increased Blood Flow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While getting the blood flowing isn\u2019t necessarily a problem for your oral health, it can be a little bit of an inconvenience in certain circumstances. If you\u2019re suffering from a toothache, have just gotten dental work, or if you\u2019ve recently had a tooth extracted, an increase in blood flow to the mouth can make the sore places in your mouth more irritated. In some cases, old wounds could even reopen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re dealing with oral health problems, don\u2019t be shy about taking time to recover. If you rest up and take aftercare seriously, odds are that you\u2019ll be back to 100% even faster than if you rushed things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Franco Cordini actually began his career in banking, but decided that he wanted to do something that would make a real impact on people\u2019s lives. Now, having been a periodontist for 20 years, he\u2019s happy to say that he can do that for his patients every day. Dr. Cordini received his degree from the Creighton University School of Dentistry, and trained in periodontics at the University of Louisville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
