5 Tips To Make Easter More Tooth-Friendly
Easter is associated with religious observances, the Easter Bilby (or bunny!), and watching youngsters seek eggs.
We seldom consider Easter to be a risk. However, entering a store during the Easter season might be frightening for a parent or adult with a sugar appetite.
There’s a lot of sugary junk out there, and it’s all in bright, appealing colours and conveniently located near pay registers.
With so many delicious temptations ready to be thrown into your shopping basket, it’s challenging to avoid eating your weight in Easter treats—who could blame you?
Don’t jeopardise your dental health this Easter season.
So here are five helpful tips to keep your teeth in tip-top shape this Easter!
5 tips to make Easter more tooth-friendly for you
Consider Alternatives To Chocolate
Children like activities such as decorating styrofoam eggs and making Easter bonnets.
Younger children like going on a stroll to count Easter bunnies, and treasure hunts with little gifts rather than eggs are usually a treat.
Older children can be given clues to help them figure out where their next hint will lead them, leading to the discovery of a treasure that isn’t just candy.
This might occupy a lot of time to be spent eating chocolate.
Chew On Sugar-Free Gum
Chewing helps our bodies produce saliva, which is a natural acid-neutralising material.
Furthermore, chewing may aid in the removal of any confectionery that has been lodged between your teeth and gums.
Drink Plenty Of Water
Drinking water is beneficial not only to your overall health but also to your teeth.
Cavity-causing bacteria in our mouths enjoy sugar, and the by-product is an acid that erodes enamel.
Throughout the day, consuming water, especially after eating Easter foods, can help to wash away the sweet remnants.
Water also has the following advantages such as:
- Fluoride in the water helps to strengthen your teeth and protect them from tooth decay.
- It helps the mouth to produce saliva.
Maintain Oral Hygiene
Do not ditch your oral hygiene routine. Flossing, brushing for 2 minutes twice a day, and using mouthwash are the best ways to keep your dazzling whites clean.
Brushing your teeth right after eating something sweet may seem like a good idea, but let your enamel 30 minutes to reharden first.
Maintaining an oral health routine daily, especially throughout the Easter season, will assist in keeping your teeth safe and free of harmful bacteria and decay.
Visit Your Fortitude Valleydentist Regularly
Although it is not required, scheduling a checkup and cleaning after the holidays is a terrific way to make sure that your oral health is on track!
If needed, we will do a thorough dental cleaning on you to ensure that your teeth are clean and healthy. Using our specialised tools, we’ll be able to remove plaque from the teeth, leading to tooth decay.
In addition, we will thoroughly inspect your teeth and your children’s teeth for any growing cavities. Filling cavities as soon as they appear will prevent them from becoming large, painful issues.
