Plano Family Dentistry<\/a>: 5 Healthy Holiday Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n

#1- Boost Your Dairy Intake<\/strong><\/p>\n

Try drinking a glass of low fat milk, or eating a small piece of cheese, after eating a sugary dessert. This will help wash away and trap harmful sugary residues. Also, the extra calcium and vitamin D will help fortify your teeth against infection and decay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

#2- Chew Sugar Free Gum<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ingredient Xylitol, which is found in most brands of sugar free gum, has been shown to strengthen teeth and fight against cavities<\/a>.<\/p>\n

#3- Ax the Snacks<\/strong><\/p>\n

Snacking in between meals can be very damaging to your teeth. Snacking prolongs the amount of time your teeth are exposed to dangerous sugary residues. Try only eating a few filling meals per day, and then brushing afterwards, to reduce the chance of developing cavities.<\/p>\n

#4- Come Prepared<\/strong><\/p>\n

You may have plans to attend holiday parties or to do some holiday traveling. If you do, remember to pack a travel size oral hygiene<\/a> kit (toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss) to carry with you so that you are more likely to keep up a healthy oral hygiene routine throughout the holiday season.<\/p>\n

#5- Make the Call<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most important thing you can do to keep your teeth healthy this season, is to make an appointment with Antoon Family Dental for a dental checkup<\/a> and cleaning. Dr. Antoon can stop or\u00a0prevent tooth decay as well as protect your teeth with dental sealants and fluoride treatments<\/a>.<\/p>\n
