How to take care of your teeth during Christmas?
Some Christmas meals may badly affect our teeth and gums. Which foods should be avoided and how to take care of oral hygiene at the Christmas table?
Chipped dead teeth, falling out fillings and tooth pain are the most common dental problems with which patients come to dentists in Poland after Christmas. There are also those rare patients who want to take care of the health and aesthetics of their teeth as one of the New Year's resolutions.
Christmas meals and teeth
Due to the frequent consumption of sweets during the holiday season, there is a greater risk of developing caries. In addition, teeth with cavities are hypersensitive to sweet and cold food. So do you have to give up sweets for the holiday time? Not necessarily! Sweets can be eaten, but make sure to choose those that do not stick to the teeth. The prolonged contact with sugar promotes tooth caries. It is better to eat a lot of sweets at a time and then brush your teeth, than to eat a piece from time to time.
Poppy and fishbones as the enemies of dentures
All foods with poppy seeds are a problem for people who wear different types of removable dentures in Poland. Poppy gets between the prosthesis and the mucous membranes, which in turn leads to irritation of the oral mucosa. Bones from fish also can irritate the mucous membranes or stuck in a cavity in a tooth.
How to take care of your teeth when you cannot brush them?
If you do not have a the toothbrush at hand, rinse your mouth with water. This will remove about 80 percent of bacteria. An attempt to clean the teeth with a chewing gum (which is so recommended in TV commercials) often ends up with falling out of an old filling.
To make sure you will avoid any problems with teeth during Christmas, and you will cherish this unique atmosphere without any pain, visit your dentist and decide on dental treatment in Poland before Christmas.
