Health Tip of the
Week
Holiday Treats May Harm Teeth
Cookies, candy and sweet holiday beverages all have at least one main
ingredient in common: sugar. Sugar's negative effect on teeth has been well
documented. Why is sugar so bad for your teeth? It mixes with bacteria in the
sticky plaque that constantly forms on teeth to produce acid that attacks tooth
enamel. The stickiness of that plaque keeps those harmful acids against the
teeth, which contributes to tooth decay.
“Try to enjoy holiday treats in moderation, and if you find yourself
overindulging, perhaps spend some extra time flossing and brushing at least
twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste,” said Shannon Mills, DDS, Vice President
for Professional Relations and Science at Northeast Delta Dental.When you do indulge your holiday sweet tooth, it is best to enjoy goodies as part of, or immediately following, a meal, rather than snacking on treats throughout the day. Another good tip is to stick to one small serving of your favorite drink or snack and to follow up by swishing some water in your mouth. Chew sugar–free gum, or brush soon after finishing to wash away some of the sticky sugar residue.
