The Importance Of Oral Health For Singers

March 21, 2016 by Jim

If you are a singer, you might already be aware of the importance of maintaining good overall oral health. What exactly does it take to keep your voice healthy for performances, auditions, and the like? In this article, we will be going over some of the top things that you should do in order to be your best vocally.

Tips To Help Keep Your Voice In The Best Shape:

1. Train Your Voice And Body Like An Athlete.

In order to properly train your voice, you are going to need to learn the proper technique. You cannot overuse your voice otherwise you will end up experiencing diminishing returns. Also, you will need to get proper rest, eat a balanced diet, and keep your oral health in tip top shape. If you experience improper or poor oral health, it is very likely to negatively impact your voice. In fact, something like gum disease can have a significant negative impact on your overall voice.

2. Adequate Hydration.

Another important thing that you are going to need to do is make sure that you give yourself a good amount of hydration. You need to drink plenty of beverages throughout the day. While nothing you eat or drink will get onto your vocals, having good oral hydration is going to effectively allow your mucus to essentially act as a lubricant rather than glue which can cause significant problems in your voice.

3. Avoid Yelling and/or Screaming.

When you increase your level of voice, you are going to end up banging your vocal chords together. This is essentially like clapping your hands together really fast and really hard. After a good amount of time doing this, your vocal folds are going to essentially react to the significant impact by getting inflamed. Because of this, you will want to avoid this completely as your voice is going to be a lot better off.

As you can see, there are plenty of different things that you are going to want to do when you are trying to keep your voice in the best possible condition. In order to keep your voice optimal, you are going to need to implement effective oral hygiene measures into your daily routine. Your oral hygiene plays an integral part in how your voice sounds because you need to have your vocal chords in tip top condition to perform consistently.

Hi I'm Jim. I have 3 passions in life: Dentistry, Dogs, and Marketing. I have been a retired dentist for several years now, however I still love researching and writing about the profession. Since I retired, I started raise and train dogs. I love dogs and specifically the dog training niche. This website is a way for me to market my ideas and thoughts on these two subjects.
