THE BEST TIPS TO ENJOY A CAVITY FREE CHRISTMAS

Christmas holidays are when everyone loves to bulk up on sweet delicacies and juicy festive flavours. But apart from taste, not everything works in our favour. The extra sugar in the food and high meat consumption can prove too much for our teeth to take in.     
          
So to promise you the brightest smiles this holiday season, we have compiled a collection of tips that will best help you cherish unhindered bliss of tastes without harming your state of oral health. 

     
Our teeth might be the strongest part of our body but it doesn’t mean there could occur no harm to these. It is imperative that we care for our teeth and offer them the best attention so that we can ensure optimum oral health and complete prevention from cavities.        
   
Unhindered fun from cavity free holidays!   

Let us discuss the following means by which you can avoid dental troubles during the sweet filled Christmas holidays -  

§  The right time to eat sweet  

To ensure no problem from sweet intake, it is advised to consume chocolates, candies and all the delicacies right after meals. During meals, the saliva production increases and this helps cancel out the acidic effects of bacteria in mouth. It also helps rinse food particles out from the mouth. 

§  Pick what doesn’t stick  
    
Dry fruits and holidays go hand in hand. It is customary to share dried fruits and nuts along with sweets during Christmas time. Even though we all love to chew on these exotic dry fruits, most of them tend to be sticky and get stuck between the tooth gaps. 
   
Thus we must make it a habit to rinse or even brush teeth after consuming dried fruits and sticky substances.  

§  Avoid high alcohol intake
  
This year, cut out on Alcohol. Too much alcohol can dry your mouth. Dry mouth makes it easy for bacteria to settle and slowly attack your teeth to cause cavities.  

§  Candies - Yes! Hard Candies - Noooo...

Some sweets and candies are too hard to chew or bite and if you try to be too brave, you could end up chipping or even breaking your teeth. Thus avoid biting on hard candies and just let the sweet flavours slowly melt in your mouth.   
       
You still get to cherish fun - Loads of it!   
          
Don’t be sad. We know its Christmas and who doesn’t love to eat. If you stay away from the bad stuff, you get to find innumerable delicacies to make your holidays a memorable engagement of fun and pleasure.   
   
For any dental related troubles, let the 24 hour emergency dentist at Brighton East Dental Clinic offer you expert care in helping alleviate all oral health concerns. The dentists also offer whitening varnish and Philips zoom whitening to give you perfect smiles for the festive day that lie ahead.
