‘Tis the season of sharing with family celebrations, office parties, church banquets. Can you just taste the pecan pie, chocolate candies, homemade sugar cookies, egg nogg? The list of heavenly treats goes on and on. How can we enjoy the holiday goodies and still maintain a goal of remaining cavity free?
I have 2 easy ideas for helping reduce the chance of getting cavities during the holidays.
1. After a sugary treat, rinse your mouth really well with water. Yes, it’s that easy to do.
2. Chew sugar free gum that has Xylitol as an ingredient. Xylitol is in many gum products.
Yes, we here at Dr. Goad’s office also enjoy sweet treats, not only during the holiday but all year long. So, think about these ideas anytime it’s not convienient to brush and floss.
Have a Happy Holiday Season!
