Tips to Avoid Holiday Teeth Stains

Tips to Avoid Holiday Teeth Stains

The Holidays are a season of joy and good cheer. And that means there’s going to be plenty of festive gatherings with lots of foods and drinks to sample.

While many of these seasonal treats are delicious, they are also really good at staining your teeth – Here are some of the Holiday Teeth Staining Culprits!

Rather than trying to avoid many of these foods and drinks for the sake of a brighter smile, there are plenty of things you can do to minimize any teeth staining effects.

How to Reduce the Holiday Season Tooth Stains

  1. Keep Your Brush and Floss Handy! – Brush and floss your teeth after meals to help prevent stains from setting in. Tip: Wait about 30 minutes after consuming an acidic beverage or meal before brushing your teeth. Brushing your teeth too quickly after eating can actually perpetuate the enamel erosion of your teeth. Why? The enamel is already softened due to the acidity in your food or drink you recently consumed.
  2. Sip with a Straw – Try using a straw when you’re at some of these festive gatherings. Drinking via a straw will help divert the beverage from hitting most of your teeth – teeth staining culprits like sodas, ice tea, fruit punch, etc.
  3. Keep the Water Flow Coming – Let it flow, let it flow – drink lots of water during and after meals to help flush away food particles and the acids from certain beverages.
  4. Don’t Miss Your Teeth Cleanings – Your routine cleanings work wonders to take away many built-up stains, and  they’re  probably one of the best things you can do for the health of your mouth, and your overall health! Here are the benefits that come with every teeth cleaning!
  5. Give Yourself a Holiday Whitening Present – Give yourself the gift of a bright smile and let it shine throughout the holidays! Now through December 22nd brighten your smile and save extra off our in-office or take-home teeth whitening!
