Dental Care on Christmas Eve
1. Be Mindful of Holiday Treats
Sugary Treats: Minimize the consumption of sugary candies, cookies, and cakes. Prolonged sugar exposure feeds harmful bacteria that cause cavities.
Sticky Foods: Avoid sticky foods like caramel, toffee, and dried fruits. They can cling to teeth and are harder to clean.
Acidic Beverages: Limit acidic drinks like sodas, wine, and citrus juices, as they can erode enamel over time.
2. Practice Good Oral Hygiene
Brush After Meals: Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. If you snack often, try to brush after eating.
Floss Daily: Floss at least once daily to remove food particles and plaque from between teeth.
Use Mouthwash: An antimicrobial mouthwash can help reduce bacteria and freshen breath during festive gatherings.
3. Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water to rinse away food particles and maintain saliva production, which naturally protects against decay.
After consuming sugary or acidic foods, rinse your mouth with water to neutralize acids.
