Easter is a time for celebrations, family reunions, and, of course, plenty of sweets! Remember to maintain your oral health while enjoying Easter sweets. Kitchener Dentist Centre is committed to helping you maintain a healthy smile all year. Follow these Good Friday rules to enjoy Easter without risking your dental health.
Choose Your Sweets Wisely
Easter baskets are occasionally filled with sweets that might be hazardous to your teeth. To protect your smile, choose chocolate over sticky or hard confectionery. Chocolate dissolves quickly in your mouth, reducing the amount of sugar that comes into contact with your teeth. Dark chocolate is an even better choice because it is lower in sugar than milk chocolate.
Stay Hydrated with Water
Drinking enough water, especially after eating sweets, helps to flush out the sugar and food particles that create cavities. Water also stimulates saliva production, which helps to keep teeth healthy by neutralizing acids and repairing early signs of decay.
Maintain Your Oral Care Routine
Do not let the holidays disrupt your regular dental hygiene routine. Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, and floss at least once. This approach offers the most effective protection against tooth decay and gum disease.
Enjoy in Moderation
It’s enjoyable to consume Easter treats, but only in moderation. To minimize sugar intake, eat sweets at specific times, then brush your teeth.
