The holiday season is upon us once again. While we delight in all the wonderful things that come with it, there’s no denying that it can be stressful too. But we forge ahead with smiles on our faces, unless we can’t. The last thing we need to worry about during the holidays is our pearly whites. Here at Yardley Dental Arts in Yardley, PA, we are dedicated to ensuring you are ready for any situation this season.
Our dental health professionals offer traditional dental services, along with cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening. Whatever your dentistry needs are, we can provide them in a state of the art and friendly atmosphere. In the meantime, here are some ways to keep your smile bright this holiday season.
We know it’s a hectic time of year, but don’t neglect your dental hygiene. Be sure to brush at least twice a day with a teeth whitening toothpaste, and floss once a day to keep those food particles from sitting in between your teeth.
Beverages like coffee, tea, soda, and red wine can not only stain your teeth, but can also harm the enamel. We know this can be difficult, especially around the holidays, so while it’s fine to treat yourself, consider using a straw to enjoy these drinks, and rinse your mouth afterward.
Drinking water is not only great for overall health, but can greatly help your smile as well. Water washes away harmful bacteria and food particles that can cause dental decay. Water also helps keep bad breath away and prevents annoying dry mouth.
The holidays are always awash with sweet treats. While it’s fine to indulge every so often, consider choosing items from the veggie platter instead. Fresh vegetables are not only a tasty substitute, but they won’t cause tooth decay like sugary food and can even help strengthen tooth enamel.
Rinsing with mouthwash after eating or drinking can not only freshen your breath, but it can loosen food and bacteria. Mouthwash is great because it will reach areas that brushing and flossing can miss.
Scheduling a dental exam at the beginning of the holiday season is always a great idea. You’ll get a professional cleaning to make your teeth look great, but it will give the dentist the chance to catch any potential problems. This way you’ll have no surprises at the office party or while shopping! You can also use the opportunity to talk with your dentist about teeth whitening.
Let Yardley Dental Arts help you keep your smile bright this holiday season! Our team of seasoned professionals will ensure that your smile is vibrant and healthy, so you have one less thing to worry about.
