It is possible to enjoy seasonal sweets and still have a
cavity-free smile to flash in festive pictures. These tips will keep your teeth
healthy during the holiday season.
Remember to Brush at
Twice a Day
With the busy holiday season it is sometimes difficult to
remember to brush. Holiday parties and special dinners with the family are
great, but always remember to brush.
Avoid Too Much Candy –
Little is better
It's the most wonderful time of year for candy canes,
popcorn balls, and cookies -- and this nonstop buffet of sweets can wreak havoc
on your teeth. Instead of constantly snacking, try eating a single dessert and
brush your teeth after.
Smart Snacking
Make sure you use a nutcracker, not your teeth, to shell
nuts. No nutcracker? Choose a different snack. Is it worth it to break a tooth
for a nut?
Keep Your Dental Routine
The holidays can upset your schedule, but you should still
brush at least two times a day. To keep up good habits on the go, stash a
toothbrush and mini tube of toothpaste in your purse or briefcase and make time
to "freshen up" after meals. If brushing your teeth isn't an option,
chew sugarless gum, which boosts saliva, helps flush out food debris, and more.
Keep Your Dental Appointments
Skipping a dental exam could get you on the naughty list. It
is much better to catch problems now and not put them off until the new year.
