The holidays are coming sooner than you think. You may have
been so focused on all of the things you need to do prior to the holiday season
you are not even focused on your teeth and gums. It is essential to not let
your dental habits go just because it is time for good food, family and
friends.
Now is the time to
evaluate whether your smile is the smile you want to share in family photos.
Now is the time to keep your smile on track by honoring the dental work and
habits you have been committed to this year.
Dr. Rice and her team recommend drinking water at every meal
instead of high sugar drinks. Drinking water will help rinse any sugar or
carbohydrates from your teeth decreasing your risk of periodontal disease.
Water also ensures your mouth is not dry, providing a less habitable
environment for bacteria to attack the enamel on your teeth.
Avoid the late night sugar and instead enjoy a piece of
sugarless gum. It helps to remove any leftover food-stuff to your teeth,
reduces risk of dry mouth, and decreases your desire for high fat foods late at
night.

Dr. Denine Rice and her team.
