Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! We are certainly thankful for each and every one of you this holiday season, so be sure to stay safe if you're traveling
Stuffing, rolls, pies, cakes…the holidays are a time full of carbohydrate-rich, sugary foods. This can really do a number on your oral health, but there are some simple ways you can help combat cavities while still enjoying the holidays.
If you can, eat those carb-heavy foods with a balanced meal consisting of some protein. This helps to counteract some of the acids produced when sugars and bacteria in the mouth come together. Also, limit your consumption of sticky foods and if you can't brush, rinse your mouth out with water to remove as much debris and acid as possible.
By following these simple holiday dental care tips, you can keep your teeth and gums healthy while still enjoying your Thanksgiving goodies.
