Holiday foods often consist of starchy and sweet dishes that
increase plaque buildup. Plaque
buildup can lead to cavities or gingivitis. Enjoying your traditional favorites in moderation, along
with healthy, teeth-friendly foods will help keep your best holiday accessory –
your smile – whiter, brighter, and healthier.
Here are a few healthy foods to enjoy during the holidays.
- High fiber fruits and vegetables act as a detergent, helping remove plaque and promote saliva flow in order to neutralize enamel-attacking acids. Examples include broccoli, kale, apples, pears, berries, and onions.
- Calcium-rich foods build strong enamel, which protects against sugars and bacteria. Examples include sesame seeds, leafy greens, yogurt and milk.
These are the items you should consume in moderation.
- Sugar. Sugar is the number one cavity-causer.
- Energy drinks and sports drinks. These drinks are very acidic and stain teeth and wear away enamel more than most other drinks.
We don’t expect you to refrain from indulging in your
favorite holiday treats this year.
But do so consciously, for the sake of your smile!
Moderation is good. Life would be pretty boring and colorless without a bit of sugar to satisfy the sweet tooth. Now eating in moderation is the best way to enjoy sweets while avoiding emergency trips to the dentist.

Good dental care begins with your own efforts to maintain an appropriate regimen of dental hygiene. You should also see your dentist on a regular basis for exams and cleanings.

Kids’ dental habits should always be supervised as they are more impulsive, especially with the food they eat. They also have the higher tendency to neglect dental health, so as elders, we should always be around to remind them of it. Executing tricks, moreover, have been found to be effective and helpful to get them into the simple act of brushing their teeth.
