After a big holiday meal, your teeth could use a little extra care. Rinsing with water helps wash away sugars and acids, and waiting about 30 minutes before brushing protects enamel after acidic foods.

Getting back to simple habits like brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and drinking plenty of water helps your smile recover quickly from festive treats.
