Drink plenty of water, brush and floss!
Make sure you drink plenty of water each day, and keep sipping away, especially when the dry mouth kicks in. And the usual dental tips apply of course — so brush and floss twice daily, especially at night. Another potential problem can be teeth grinding while under the influence — once again, it is your central nervous system going into top gear! Try a sugarless chewing gum to take a load off your teeth.
Free dental care
Dentists can be pretty expensive particularly if you aren't working. See if your country and region provide free dental clinics. If they do, there can be waiting lists so ring in early and make an appointment before any dental problems start up. Remember it’s a good idea to have a yearly checkup even if there’s nothing wrong yet.
