With all that have happened since March 2020 with COVID-19 it seems that we fast forward till December; and we know that this Holidays will be a little bit different that we used to. However, there is something that will never change; what is bad for our oral health and those habits that keep us on the right track.
Eggnog: the top of our naughty list. Every sip of this beverage is a feast for the bacteria that lives on our mouth since is very high in sugar content.
Green leafy vegetables (kale, brussels sprouts): the very nice thing to eat. These vegetables are high in vitamin A and vitamin C; which helps your body and teeth to absorb calcium.
Candy canes: always in the naughty list. No matter if you suck on them or you decide to bite them, these sugary foods are a high risk to develop cavities. And don’t get us started in the fact that if you are a bitter you might end of with a fractured tooth.
Checkup: Remember to schedule your post-Holiday evaluation to know that you are starting the new year with a healthy smile.
