You’ve heard of Dry January? It’s become quite a popular trend where people give up alcohol for the entire month of January. Now, aside from the obvious health benefits of cutting back on booze, did you know that going teetotal for a month can also have some positive effects on your oral health? Yep, it’s true! So, what are the benefits?
Take a break
First things first, alcohol consumption can wreak havoc on oral health. Not only does alcohol dry out our mouths, but it also contains sugars and acids that can lead to tooth decay and erosion. By taking a break from alcohol for just one month, we can give our mouths a chance to recover and restore moisture levels. This means healthier teeth and gums in the long run.
Breathe easy
Dry January can also have a positive impact on our breath. Alcohol is notorious for causing bad breath, as it can lead to a reduction in saliva production. Saliva is important because it helps to wash away bacteria and food particles that can cause stale breath. By abstaining from alcohol for a month, we can give our saliva production a boost and say goodbye to beer breath.
Another benefit of Dry January is fewer stains on teeth. We all know what red wine and other dark-coloured drinks can do. By avoiding these beverages for a month, we’re giving our teeth a chance to naturally whiten and regain their sparkle.
Hold steady
Then there’s our regular oral hygiene routine. When we’re under the influence of alcohol, our motivation to take care of our teeth can weaken. After a night on the tiles, we are more likely to skip brushing and flossing. It’s difficult to not just dive under the duvet! But by taking a break from alcohol, we can regain our focus on maintaining a healthy oral hygiene routine. This means brushing and flossing regularly, using mouthwash, and visiting the dentist for a check-up.
Feel good factor
A month of abstinence can have some indirect benefits for our oral health as well. When you commit to going without alcohol for a whole month, it can boost your self-confidence and feeling of well-being. When you feel good about yourself, you’re more likely to take care of yourself. This includes everything from eating a balanced diet – which is great for teeth too – to maintaining a positive attitude towards your oral health.
So, there you have it, from healthier teeth and gums to fresher breath and whiter smiles, there’s a lot to gain by giving up alcohol for just one month. Cheers to a healthier mouth and a healthier 2024!

Do you grind your teeth at night?
In this video Maggie explains some of the common causes of tooth grinding, including stress, alignment of the teeth and certain sleep issues.
Grinding can lead to wearing of the enamel, jaw discomfort and headaches, so it’s important to have it checked.
In some cases a custom dental guard may be recommended to help protect your teeth while you sleep.

Thinking about straightening your teeth?
In this video, Yasmin explains Angel Aligners and why they can be a great option for both patients and clinicians.
Clear aligners are designed to gradually move teeth into a better position using a series of custom-made trays. They’re discreet, removable and allow you to continue eating, brushing and flossing as normal.
Angel Aligners also use advanced digital planning, helping us carefully plan each stage of treatment and achieve predictable results.
If you’ve been thinking about straighter teeth, our team at Evolve would be happy to talk you through the options.
