So many holidays involve a bit of indulgence. This is especially true for Easter, a holiday where adorable sweets shaped like cute animals are sold pretty much everywhere you look. Combine this with big meals spent with friends and family, and the Easter season is rife with ways for you to damage your teeth. You want to enjoy the festivities, but you also want to stay healthy – right? Well luckily, with just a bit of attention and planning you will be able to enjoy the Easter holiday without making a negative impact on your teeth.
SUGAR CAN BE DAMAGING
Tooth decay is caused by bacteria in the mouth using sugar from foods and drinks to produce acids that dissolve and damage the teeth. The longer the sugar sits on your teeth, the more damage it can do to the heath of your mouth. With Easter baskets overflowing with candy and sugar, you should probably face the reality that these candies really can do some damage. The sugar intake seems to have a large impact on tooth decay, and when you are celebrating a holiday that is in large part about sugary treats, you should certainly pay more attention to make sure you are not doing permanent damage.
KEEP YOUR TEETH HEALTHY
- Brush Every Day – As always, having a solid dental care routine is extremely critical. You need to keep your teeth healthy day in and day out, which means brushing regularly. It is especially important to brush your teeth before bed to wipe away all of the bacteria that has built up in your mouth throughout the day. Otherwise, it will just sit on the top of your teeth, causing more and more damage. POPWHITE 2-in-1 Teeth Whitening Toothpaste reduces plaque and keeps enamel on teeth intact. You should also make sure you remember to change your toothbrush every few months to keep your teeth clean and healthy.
- Floss – If you are eating lots of sugary treats, you need to make sure you get rid of the excess food that is sitting in your mouth. Otherwise, as you saw above, you could create a really damaging situation for your teeth. Keep your smile healthy by getting all of the extra bits and pieces of your holiday sweets out from in between your teeth. Flossing can help dislodge anything you miss while brushing, and help keep your teeth from being damaged by invisible food hidden between them. But in a rush, try POPWHITE 2-in-1 Teeth Whitening Mouthwash to help reduce future cavities.
- Avoid Staining Foods – Everyone loves to take pictures at events. If your teeth are stained because of your holiday foods, you might not be happy with the results you see when you look at the pictures. One sure way to avoid this problem is to steer clear of some of the most famous teeth-staining culprits. Dentists suggest that you avoid brightly colored candy, ice pops, and sweetened drinks.” Since all of these foods are really popular during Easter, it’s best to pay attention to the sweets that you pick up to celebrate the holiday. Those cute bunny-shaped treats might just be creating tough stains on your teeth but they are no match for the famous POPWHITE Duo.
- Whiten and Brighten – If you find your holiday treats have left you with a dull, stained smile then you are going to need a quick solution to get your dazzling white teeth back. Luckily, the POWHITE Easter sale has just begun – save $$ off your favorite teeth whitening kits or try the new Advanced Teeth Whitening Pen to whiten that smile on the go in only 1 minute!
Enjoying the holidays is great, but always remember to take excellent care of your teeth. 💛
