Celebrate Smart This Holiday Season
December brings festive treats, desserts, and sugary drinks that can increase the risk of cavities. At Marinaside Dental, we want you to enjoy the holidays while protecting your oral health with a few mindful habits.
How Sugar Affects Your Teeth
Sugar feeds harmful bacteria in the mouth, producing acids that weaken enamel and lead to decay. Frequent snacking throughout the day exposes teeth to prolonged acid attacks.
Tips to Protect Your Smile
- Enjoy sweets in moderation and avoid grazing
- Drink water after sugary treats
- Brush twice daily and floss every day
- Choose tooth-friendly snacks like cheese and nuts
Balance Is Key
You don’t have to skip your favourite holiday treats. With good oral hygiene and preventive dental care, you can enjoy the season guilt-free.
