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.
