How can I keep my teeth healthy during the holiday season when there are so many sweet treats around?

It is easy to indulge in sweets during the festive season, but sugary treats can take a toll on your teeth. Here are a few tips to protect your smile while enjoying your favourites:

🍬 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘄𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 – Rinsing your mouth with water helps wash away sugar and acids, helping to reduce the risk of cavities.

🍬 𝗦𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗡𝘂𝘁𝘀 – These snacks neutralise acids in the mouth and help promote healthy teeth. Plus, cheese provides calcium to strengthen enamel.

🍬 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝘂𝗺 – chewing sugar-free gum can stimulate saliva production, which helps neutralise acids - but remember this does not replace brushing!

With these simple habits, you can enjoy the season’s treats without compromising your oral health!
