With all the parties and events this holiday season
it’s hard to maintain a balanced healthy diet, especially with all those
goodies and sweets. You don’t have to
say no to those delicious treats if you maintain your oral health hygiene. Here are a few tips to keep in mind this
season…
- Avoiding hard, sticky, and chewy treats, they can easily damage a tooth or obstruct past dental work.
- When drinking (other than water), a straw will help reduce the acids that may stick to your teeth.
- Once done with the drink, chewing on the ice is a no-no. Chewing on hard ice can potentially help break a tooth or disrupt crowns and fillings.
- It’s best to wait a few hours between eating, letting your saliva build back up to counteract acid.
- After eating something acidic or sugary, rinse out your mouth to prevent an attack on your teeth. This will save you dental problems in the future.
These simple tips will help you maintain healthy oral
hygiene this holiday season. This time
of the year only comes one time a year, so avoid a toothache and enjoy your
holidays!
Happy Holidays from All Brite Dental!
