Smile-Safe Snow Adventures for Wisconsin Winters
Like it or not, winter is here for another month or two. Let’s make the most of the season by experiencing Wisconsin’s winter wonderland with these three adventures:
1. Skiing and Snowboarding
Destination: Wisconsin has the third greatest number of downhill ski areas in the country, making it an ideal destination for aspiring Bode Millers and Lindsey Vonns. Top-rated ski resorts to check out include Granite Peak, Cascade Mountain, or Tyrol Basin.
Tooth Tip: More than 5 million teeth are lost or damaged per year because of sports injury or trauma—including skiing and snowboarding. Wear a mouthguard to prevent face and mouth injuries.
2. Ice Fishing
Destination: Fishing is an all-season sport in the Badger State! Try your luck and your line at some of Wisconsin’s top fishing holes including fishing for sturgeon on Lake Winnebago, walleye on Fox Lake, or bluegill or crappie on Lake Onalaska.
Tooth Tip: Ice fishing is a sport of patience that requires long hours outside. Because cold weather can cause tooth sensitivity, use a fluoride toothpaste to keep enamel strong.
3. Dog Sledding
Destination: All ages and levels can enjoy this ancient tradition at Wolfsong Adventures in Mushing and the Siberian Outpost.
Tooth Tip: If you’ve enlisted the help of your personal pet or spend a lot of time outdoors with them, remember their dental care matters, too! Check out this infographic to keep your pooch smiling.
