Holiday Tips for Healthy Teeth
December 21st, 2011 |
Here are some holiday tips to keep your teeth healthy.
1. Use moderation with sweets and baked goods, and be sure to brush after.
2. Avoid hard candies (like candy canes) or candies or cookies with hard nuts. These are more likely to crack or break teeth.
3. Do not use teeth to open presents, holiday nuts or anything else, as this can risk breaking or cracking your teeth. Use appropriate tools, like scissors or nutcrackers.
4. Report any dental-related accident to your dentist as soon as possible. Generally, the longer you wait, the harder it is to address the problem.
5. Remember to brush on Christmas Eve. Don’t let the excitement about Santa Claus make you forget. (Remember, he’s always watching).
