Christmas is just around the corner. While it’s the time to enjoy and have fun, it also leads to diets full of sugary treats and drinks.

2. The holiday season is often
filled with parties and other
social gatherings.
While these festivities are a
lot of fun, they can also
lead to eating heaps of
sweets.

your oral health during the
holidays.

4. Limit Your Sweets Intake
There is nothing wrong with having a
couple cookies at a party as long as they
aren’t the only thing that you eat.
Load your plate with healthy, filling food,
such as fresh fruit and vegetables and
crackers and cheese, and then choose a
couple desserts.

5. Steer Clear of Sticky Foods
Sticky foods tend to remain on your teeth
longer than other kinds of food, leading to
a greater amount of damage.
When you’re in the mood for something
sweet, skip the dried fruit, trail mix, and
gummy candy and reach for a little piece of
chocolate.

6. Drink a Lot of Water
Get alternate alcoholic and sweet drinks at
holiday events with water to stay hydrated
which helps in washing the sugar off your
teeth.
If you don’t like to drink plain water,
garnish your glass with a lemon wedge or
mint sprig.

7. Drink Soda and other Sweet
Beverages with a Straw
The more sugar makes direct contact with
your teeth, the more damage it does.
The sugar in a can of soda is much less
harmful for your teeth while you drink it
with a straw.

8. Keep a Toothbrush and
Toothpaste on Hand
During the craziness of the holidays, you
may not always have a chance to go home
between different parties or between work
and a family gathering.
Packing a toothbrush and toothpaste
ensures that you’ll be able to keep your
teeth clean while on the go.
