You will agree that the festive season comes with irresistible delicious treats and mouthwatering delicacies. We are all too familiar with the cravings for party jollof rice, sweet sugar-coated cakes, and varieties of meals. However, amid all these, we must keep healthy teeth.
Here are some tips to help you keep healthy teeth during this celebratory time:
Moderate Sugar Intake:
Enjoy festive treats in moderation. Excessive consumption of sugary foods and drinks can contribute to tooth decay.
Therefore opt for healthier snack options and drink plenty of water to help rinse away sugar and keep your healthy teeth.
Practice Regular Oral Hygiene:
Stick to your regular oral hygiene routine.
Importantly, brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, use dental floss to clean between your teeth, and don’t forget to replace your toothbrush regularly.
Stay Hydrated:
Water is not only good for your overall health but also contributes to good oral health. Notably, It helps to rinse away food particles and bacteria from the mouth.
Consequently, staying adequately hydrated is highly recommended, particularly if you consume acidic or sugary foods.
Limit Alcohol Consumption:
Alcohol can contribute to a dry mouth, which increases the risk of tooth decay.
If consuming alcoholic beverages, consume moderately and follow up with water to stay hydrated.
