by Sheila Macintyre, Practice Owner,

With Christmas almost upon us this is the perfect time
to remind everyone about how to best to enjoy festive food
and drink and look after your dental health.
Of course Christmas is a time to let loose and indulge, but we think you can
have the best of both worlds if you are just a little bit sensible.
Try to avoid too much eating between
meals, but if you do snack stick to the
crudites and nuts rather than sweets
and chocolates. Nuts are a great
alternative to crisps as they contain
calcium and vitamin D that both have
dental health benefits. Try and enjoy
your sugary treats after a meal and
brush your teeth after main meals.

If you can, avoid sugary drinks and drink plenty of water
instead. Red wine can stain teeth so stick to white if you are
partial to either. Cheese is an ideal accompaniment to wine
as it contains calcium and helps combat the damaging effects of acid. Dried
fruit is high in sugar and gets stuck to your teeth so maybe brush your teeth
after eating mince pies, Christmas pudding or Christmas Cake and try and
eat these after a meal too.
Remember to leave it about an hour or so after eating before brushing your
teeth.
If you are still looking for Christmas present ideas the latest electric toothbrush
is always a popular stocking filler and our gift vouchers have become popular
to put towards teeth whitening and facial rejuvenation treatments (please
note an initial consultation is needed prior to treatments).
Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year from all at Kilbarchan Dental
Practice!
