Sweet Holiday Dental Tips

The holidays are drawing closer, but don’t let tooth decay get in your way this holiday season. 

Holiday sweets such as gummy bears, candy canes, and mints can stick to your teeth for hours. The longer they remain stuck, the more likely your chance of developing a cavity since bacteria thrives on sugary foods.

Here are some helpful tips that will keep your teeth jolly this season:

·      Restrict the amount of snacks you consume before and after meals. Sugar free gum can be a healthy alternative.

·      Consume more water. Water helps wash out the sugars.

·      Floss after every meal and brush your teeth in the morning and night. We can’t stress this enough. You don’t want to go to bed with sugary foods stuck between your teeth!

Also, visit your dentist for a regular check-up. Check-ups are a crucial part to maintaining a healthy mouth.
