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.

Its important to take care of 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 arent 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 youre 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 dont 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
  youll be able to keep your teeth clean while on
  the go.
