Have a Healthy Holiday Smile

During the holidays, temptation lurks around every corner. The appetizers, the desserts, all of it can either be a good or bad decision for our tooth enamel. Making wise choices during the holiday season is definitely a challenge, but our doctors at Bear Creek Dental are here to tell you what to reach for on the holiday table to help keep your smile healthy throughout the holiday season.


A poor diet can lead to gum disease and tooth decay and the holidays are no excuse to fall off the healthy wagon. Foods that contain sugars of any kind can contribute to decay, so it’s best to avoid candy canes, popcorn, and other foods that can chip or crack a tooth. If you notice a cheese platter on the table, cheese contains calcium that keeps enamel strong. Whatever you decide to eat, be sure to brush thoroughly after your meal and floss the leftovers out of your teeth to prevent bad breath and gingivitis from developing.


If you have questions or concerns regarding dental health, please give us a call.
