The holidays are a stressful time for many people. So much to plan, gifts to purchase, people to see… it can all be a bit overwhelming.
One thing that tends to get forgotten around this time is our health.
We eat sweets, are constantly bombarded by a variety of foods and drink we normally don’t indulge in.
And all this takes a toll on our teeth. It’s likely you forget to drink enough water during this time (even with the heat!) and the excess of sugars in our diet can begin to wear at your tooth enamel.
So, it’s important that once this season has begun winding down you take a look at your family’s oral health. When was the last time you visited the dentist? Do you need a checkup? A cleaning?
Setting yourself up for successfully taking care of your oral health throughout the year means planning ahead. And why not start out right at the beginning of the year – get your teeth cleaning in the books, then get your 6 month check up scheduled, and keep the plan going for the next year.
