End-of-Year Oral Health Tips
Taking care of our dental needs and focusing on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, is not a priority during the holiday season, which is understandable– this is the time for sweets, home-cooked meals, present wrapping & unwrapping, and deciding who has been naughty or nice. There is no time left to focus on your family’s dental, health & wellness routines.
With all the festivities of the holiday season, it’s easy to forget your regular routine. While this is fine, we have a couple of quick tips to help keep your smile in great shape over the holidays without compromising on the fun and celebrations. Read it & forget it – subliminally a quick tip or two will stay with you.
Hydration is Key
Water plays a vital role in keeping your smile healthy. Drinking water regularly will allow you to stay hydrated, avoid a dry mouth, and have more energy during this festive time. Bonus: will also rinse away leftover food so you’re always kiss-ready. You never know where a mistletoe may appear. Keep a water bottle next to you throughout the day; be a cool kid.
Chew Your Way to Dental Health
Chewing gum can help prevent dry mouth, reduce the chance of cavities, and even make your listeners more agreeable to what you have to say. Chewing one sugar-free gum after every meal, will help you avoid the effects of acid and bacteria on your teeth, protect your smile in-between brushing, and get you out of uncomfortable conversations.
Snaccidents are Welcomed
While snacking during the holiday season is, of course, a must, taking a break will make your next snack adventure even more enjoyable. Give your teeth a break and enjoy snacking in certain intervals during the day to allow your oral bacteria to rebalance. Extra points: try to rinse after every snacking session with either water or mouthwash for a fresh breath.
Don’t Stress, Do Your Best!
Having a stress-free dental, health & wellness consultation after the holidays will allow you to plan ahead and have this checked off before the New Year so you can focus on what really matters. Having an awesome year and powering through 2022 like a champ.
