DENVER - s4story -- At Primary Dental, we know winter in Denver is all about snow-packed adventures, ski trips, and cozy hot drinks. While this season brings plenty to enjoy, we also see how colder weather and winter activities can affect oral health. As a trusted Dentist, we want to share a few practical tips to help our community protect their smiles throughout the winter and ski season.
One of the most common concerns we hear from patients during winter is tooth sensitivity. Cold air can easily trigger discomfort, especially if you have worn enamel, gum recession, or untreated dental issues. Breathing in icy air while skiing or spending time outdoors can cause sharp pain. We recommend covering your mouth with a scarf or neck gaiter when outside and addressing sensitivity early with professional dental care.

Winter sports are another big part of life in Denver, and with them comes an increased risk of dental injuries. Skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating accidents can result in chipped, cracked, or knocked-out teeth. We strongly encourage wearing a mouthguard during high-impact activities. At our dental office, we can provide custom-fitted mouthguards that offer better protection and comfort than store-bought options.
Dry mouth is also more common in winter, especially in Denver's high-altitude environment. Cold weather, indoor heating, and reduced hydration can lower saliva production, which is essential for protecting teeth from cavities. We advise drinking plenty of water, limiting sugary hot beverages, and using alcohol-free mouth rinses to keep your mouth moist and healthy.
Even with busy schedules, holiday travel, and ski weekends, maintaining good oral hygiene is essential. We encourage brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and keeping up with routine dental checkups. Skipping these habits—even for a short time—can increase your risk of cavities and gum disease.
