The Holidays and your Teeth

The holidays are coming, with candy, Christmas cookies, and fancy drinks. Go ahead and indulge in the delicious foods of the season in moderation while still following good dental hygiene. *Don’t brush your teeth right after you eat. The acids in foods can weaken your enamel if you brush too soon. By waiting 30 minutes, your saliva will neutralize some of the acid. *Watch your sugar intake. Too much sugar can negatively affect the PH of your saliva, which helps keep your teeth and gums healthy. *Be sure to brush and floss regularly. Happy Holidays!
