1. Don’t Ditch the Routine
Ever get that “what day of the week is it?” feeling during the Christmas break? It’s common for daily routines to be disrupted during the holidays. However, try to stick to a good oral hygiene routine—especially during this time when your teeth face extra challenges from sweets, chocolates, sugary treats, and drinks.
2. Christmas Breakfast
While Christmas Day may be all about lunch, having a filling, healthy breakfast can help you avoid reaching for the Quality Street tin at midday. A nutritious start sets the tone for the day.
3. Swap the Mince Pie for a Handful of Nuts
Opt for festive snacks that are kinder to your teeth. Mince pies are high in sugar due to their dried fruit content, so consider reaching for a handful of nuts instead. Nuts are rich in vitamins and minerals that help protect your teeth from decay.
4. Drink Water at the End of the Christmas Party
With many Christmas parties on the calendar, a great tip is to make water your last drink of the night. This not only helps wash away acid and plaque from sugary drinks but can also lessen the hangover.
5. Fondue or a Christmas Cheese Board?
