We at Colbert Family Dental want to wish you and your family a very happy holiday season!
The holidays can be a fun and festive time to indulge in treats and enjoy rich foods you wouldn't usually have. But remember to continue your home care routine to ensure a happy and healthy smile in the new year. Here are some helpful tips on protecting your smile while still enjoying some holiday cheer.
#1 Don't Forget to Brush and Floss Daily
It can be easy to let your normal routine go when you're enjoying late-night holiday parties or traveling to visit friends and family. But sticking to your regular routine of daily brushing and flossing is one of the most important things you can do to protect your smile during the hectic holiday season.
#2 Hydrate for Health
Drinking plenty of water during holiday gatherings and parties will help you stay hydrated and offset some of the sugar you consume as you enjoy holiday treats and desserts. Water is also always good for promoting excellent dental health and overall well-being.
#3 Watch Your Sugar Intake
It's alright to enjoy some treats and holiday cheer, but try to be cognizant of how much sugar you're eating and set some limitations for yourself. Choose your treats wisely and enjoy them in moderation to protect your healthy smile.
#4 Schedule Your Dental Visits
If it's time for your routine dental teeth cleaning and checkup, don't forget to schedule your appointment, especially if you have year-end dental insurance benefits you haven't used. These bi-annual visits are integral in helping you maintain a beautiful, happy, and healthy smile.
