Caring for your Oral Health during the Holidays This time of year can be hard and challenging when it comes to healthy eating. As with all good things moderation is the key. Sugar: can be delightful but a nightmare on your teeth! Sucking on candies is an example. These treats bathes your mouth in sugar because it takes time to dissolve. A better option would be plain chocolate as it would dissolve more quickly. ... Starches: can also be tempting ie: pasta, mash potatoes, chips, but these starchy foods can get stuck in your teeth and break down into sugars which cause tooth decay. Spirits: Alcohol is not good for your mouth. According to the Oral Cancer foundation heavy drinking is the second largest risk for developing oral cancer. Wine is sugary and can stain your teeth. Champagne has high levels of carbonation which can erode tooth enamel. Stress: Whether it’s hosting the party, financial or loneliness, the holidays can be very demanding and disrupt our emotions and oral health. Here are some tips for caring for your teeth: Floss Daily! It’s important to get the food stuck from between your teeth. Drink lots of Water! It’s your best line of defence! Water can help neutralize the acids and wash away the sugar. Tooth friendly snacks: eat plenty of fresh vegetables, cheese and shelled nuts

With back to school approaching here are some tooth facts for kids! - All 20 of the baby’s primary teeth are already in the jaw at birth. - When children are around 5 or 6 years old their teeth start to fall out one by one - By the age of 12 or 13 most kids have lost all of their baby teeth and now have their permanent teeth ... Did you know that tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body?! Encourage your child to brush at least twice a day, and if needed help them to brush and don’t forget to floss! If you don’t floss, you miss cleaning 40% of your tooth surfaces. Remember booking your cleaning and check-up appointments are important for your dental health

Remember to stay hydrated today.... drink lots of water! Try to replace the sugary drinks with water! Remember to call the office to schedule your next cleaning and check-up appointment. Enjoy the
