In fact, you should be extra vigilant with your oral hygiene during the holidays because of the many tempting foods that are extra damaging to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierdentalwaco.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">dental health<\/a>. When we consume sugar filled drinks and snacks, the naturally occurring bacteria in our mouth is able to feed off of the sugary residue. As a result these bacteria produce an excess of tooth eroding acids that wear away our enamel and cause <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierdentalwaco.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">tooth decay<\/a>. You don\u2019t want to start off the New Year with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierdentalwaco.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">toothache<\/a>. Fortify your family\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierdentalwaco.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">dental health<\/a> over the holidays by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierdentalwaco.com\/contact.html\">making an appointment<\/a> to see Dr. Cofer at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierdentalwaco.com\/\">Premier Family Dental<\/a> today. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierdentalwaco.com\/tour-our-office.html\">Dr. Cofer<\/a> and his team can help you protect your family\u2019s teeth with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierdentalwaco.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">dental sealants and fluoride treatments<\/a> among other preventative our-services.

The saliva needed to help digest larger meals washes away more food particles and helps neutralize harmful acids.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid sticky foods like raisins, dates and dried fruit which can hold acid against teeth longer than other foods.<\/li>\n<li>Keep a toothbrush or some mouthwash handy so that you can brush right after eating at holiday parties.<\/li>\n<li>Chew more sugar free gum. The Xylitol in sugar free gum has been shown to help fight off cavities and gum disease.<\/li>\n<li>Eat a piece of cheese or drink a glass of milk after enjoying a sugary snack. The calcium in these dairy products can help keep your teeth strong throughout the season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierdentalwaco.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">Holiday Dental Care<\/a> Appointments in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierdentalwaco.com\/contact.html\">Waco, TX<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Make it a point to start off the New Year with a bright and healthy smile.
