I think that it is it awful to go through life simply failing in some areas. I have found that as I age it is important to not only be proactive about my health but to also put stops on areas that I am simply not doing well. What I have seen is that it can be worth it to suffer a little to save lots of suffering in the long run. It is a sad truth of life and that can be a good thing when it comes to your dental health. I know that to me it is totally worth it to lower the food and drinks that I intake during the holidays to save my teeth lots of struggles in a few years. I have found this to be the absolute truth during the last few years and I much enjoy not spending thousands of dollars on dental visits and surgeries simply by not eating and drinking as much of the things I love during the holidays. This is simply a fact of life in that growing up gives you choices that are not always great but can have great consequences. So I want to go over a few tips to fight that evil tooth decay during the holiday season.
The first thing that we should all do is to watch what we eat and drink. It sounds very simple, but you may need to try to substitute a little more of the salad bar or celery snacks instead of cookies and pie this year. I know that we all love our family's classic dishes or things that our friends make, but it is important that we not overindulge and end up putting sugar and acid on our teeth way too much. I think that it is a good thing to enjoy the holidays, but not great to overindulge and to put our teeth at risk. I am working as hard as I can to find a good balance in order to be able to enjoy the holiday and yet not go too far.
Now another thing that I am doing is adding in some extra water to my regular party diet. This means that i am attempting to drink a glass of water for each sweet drink or alcoholic beverage I have. My goal is to help clean my teeth by rinsing them off with water constantly. This is a great way to help your teeth stay clean and to fight away the food particles and sugary drinks that are clinging to your teeth and are eating away at your enamel. There are also some extra added benefits of drinking more water during the holidays as well.
The extra water you drink can help keep your body nice and hydrated. This means that your body will produce the correct amount of saliva during these holidays as well. With this, you can double down on keeping your mouth clean because the saliva actually keeps your mouth clean as well. it is your bodies natural mouth wash and helps to get those nasty tooth eating substances off your teeth. So keep an extra bottle of water around make it a plan to keep a cup of water with you during the parties. It may help you skip out on some emergency runs to the dentist in the future.
