If so, keep up the good work🏋🏻! Or if you are still considering it, it’s not too late to start. Dry January 🍷 is not only good for your general health (and pocket) but has knock on benefits for our dental health too.

Drinking too much alcohol can have a substantial impact on our oral health and lead to a range of diseases from tooth decay to mouth cancer. The acidity of alcoholic drinks such as white wine, beer and cider can cause erosion of the enamel on our teeth, possibly leading to pain and sensitivity. Consuming large amounts of alcohol can also become a massive contributor to our sugar intake and can significantly increase our chances of developing tooth decay.

Taking part in Dry January will help lower your risks of developing mouth cancer, losing teeth and tooth decay. It is also a great way to save a considerable amount of money 💰 throughout the month, gain better sleep 😴, have more energy, and simply improve your general health.
