Caring for Your Teeth This Christmas

 The festive season is around the corner. This means puddings, sweets, family dinners, and loads of food. But as you gear up to gobble those apple crumble pies and the minced meat delicacies you also need to be extra protective of your teeth.

So what can you do to make sure that you do not harm your teeth? Our experts at Dentzz give you some tips and tricks to keep your teeth healthy this festive season.

• Maintain control of sugary food. Eating sweets during the festive season is the best part but make sure that you do not over indulge. Clean your mouth by rinsing, brushing, or flossing after major sweet tooth moments.
• Do not, at any cost, ditch your routine oral care. Maintaining a good routine during the holidays is the best way to stay away from any tooth problems. Regular care will ensure that you do not damage your teeth even if you are eating round the clock.
• Brush your teeth twice a day and floss after every meal to ensure your teeth are clean at all times. Also rinsing your mouth will help a lot.
• Fruits like cranberries and food like cheese are really good for your teeth. They contain calcium, which helps to keep your teeth stronger. But like they say, everything in moderation is the perfect way. Do not go overboard with eating either of these because cranberries contain acids, which may harm your teeth.
• Do not use your teeth to open bottles or corks or packets. You may not believe but doing this is actually causing more damage to your teeth than you know. Always use bottle openers, cork openers, and scissors to open packets.
• Like they also say during a diet, moderation is the key. Eat everything in moderation. No matter how tempted you are make sure that you control your portion sizes.

These are some basic things that you can take care of during the festive season as it will help you to maintain good oral care and hygiene. Apart from these tips don’t forget to get your routine dental cleanups at Dentzz.
