With a few simple habits, you can enjoy the season while keeping your smile healthy.
Holiday sweets and snacks can be hard to resist. Eating them in moderation and as part of a meal when your mouth produces more saliva to help wash away food particles can help protect your teeth. Choose options such as fresh fruits, vegetables, cheese and nuts and drink plenty of water throughout the day.
During the busy holiday season, it can be very tempting to skip exercise. But staying active can help reduce stress and support your overall health. So take a brisk walk after a meal, try an online workout or do a few simple strength exercises at home. Even 10 minutes of movement can make a big difference.
Don’t let the holidays disrupt your daily dental care. Continue brushing twice a day and flossing daily. If you have remaining funds in a flexible spending account, consider using them for eligible dental services before the end of the year.
If you had to cancel or reschedule a dental appointment, get back on track now. Regular dental visits help keep your smile healthy throughout the year. By making your oral health a priority, you can enjoy the holidays and give yourself a gift that lasts all year long.
