Mince pies, mulled wine... and your teeth – let's talk festive season survival 🎄
We're not here to tell you to skip the treats! Just a few smart habits to keep your smile healthy through the festivities:
🦷 Timing is everything – Enjoy sweet treats with meals rather than grazing throughout the day. Your mouth produces more saliva during mealtimes, which helps protect your enamel.
🦷 Rinse with water – After indulging, drink some water to wash away lingering sugar and reduce bacteria buildup. Simple, but effective.
🦷 Don't skip the basics – Keep up with brushing twice daily and flossing. Toffee and sticky treats love hiding between teeth where your toothbrush can't reach.
The festive period shouldn't mean compromising your oral health. A little mindfulness goes a long way towards starting the New Year with a healthy, confident smile.
