Read more below to find out our top picks for the best and worst Christmas foods for your dental health!
Best: Veggies
Make it your mission to eat up as many veggies throughout the holiday, and most days, as you can! Vegetables are great for dental health! They have a good crunch that helps to keep your teeth strong and produce saliva! Of course, as with most things, you can make veggies more or less healthy depending on how they are cooked, but vegetables are definitely make our list as one of the best options for your dental health!
Worst: Stuffing
We know, it is such a shame that the best foods can be so bad for your teeth! But, stuffing is a food you need to watch out for as the excessive amount of sugars and carbohydrates lead to an increase in the bacteria in your mouth, and if you aren't brushing or flossing carefully, you could miss out on clearing away the particles that can lead to cavities and tooth decay!
A Christmas staple! Although this dish isn't as popular as ham this holiday, most meats are a solid go-to for dental health, as the amount of chewing has been shown to help keep teeth strong, and produce more saliva- which will help to clear out left over food particles!
Our goal at Access Dental and Dentures is to provide you with the best dental services in Missouri! Whether that is in-person, or providing you with these essential tips to utilize in your day-to-day, we hope that your dental health benefits from our team!
