Your Norwood family dentist has\na few pointers for keeping your teeth healthy that you might not expect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Holidays are a Time of Concern for Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centraldentalnorwood.com\/general-family-dentistry.html\">family\ndentist<\/a> in Norwood sees it all. Over time, the calendar reliably\npredicts more of certain kinds of dental issues, and the holidays are no\nexception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the top three concerns you should stay alert to for\nyour own dental health and those of your family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">There\u2019s a Reason It\u2019s Called a Sweet Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the holidays, we all partake of more sweet goodies.\nFor the sake of your teeth and your waistline, try to add in healthier options\nto round out the party in your mouth, including nuts, cheeses and other protein\nsources like beef jerky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">While You\u2019re Relaxing, Don\u2019t Relax Your Dental Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Forgot to pack your floss for the trip? Stayed up too late\nat that party to brush before bed? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The extra sugar most patients eat during the holidays\nsomehow seems to coincide with disruption to dental care routines. Don\u2019t let\nthat happen. Be diligent to brush and floss regularly, and rinse after sugar\nconsumption if you can\u2019t brush right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where\u2019s a Pair of Scissors When You Need Them?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the holidays, you\u2019re more likely to use your teeth as\ntools. Tempted to cut a ribbon on a gift with your teeth? Don\u2019t do it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And please say you\u2019re not one of those people who will pull\nout a cork from a bottle of wine with your chompers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take the time to get the real tools out and save your teeth\nfor chewing food. You could literally <em>save\nyour teeth<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baby, It\u2019s Cold Outside<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cold weather means more slips, falls and face-plants on the\nsidewalk or ice rink. Hockey-playing kids can take a flying puck or waving\nstick in the mouth. All manner of damage to teeth is possible when we get out\nand enjoy winter activities. Make sure you or your kids wear protective gear\nand pay attention when walking on or near ice, snow or water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy your holidays but don\u2019t let <em>Season\u2019s Greetings<\/em> turn into greeting your dentist for avoidable damage. If the unavoidable does happen, though, we\u2019re here to help get your holidays back on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Central Dental Associates, you\u2019ll find not one, but six\ndentists ready to help your visit to the clinic be fun, comfortable and\nconvenient.
