6 Tips for Cavity-Free Holidays - continued
#5: Watch out for starchy foods
These
are sneaky because they often get trapped in your teeth. If you choose
to indulge in chips and cakes, take extra care when you floss that day
to remove all the food particles that can lead to plaque build-up.
#6: You can still have fun
So,
what can you eat? Lots of stuff! Make lean protein choices, such as
lean beef, skinless poultry and fish and vary your diet. Eat whole
grains and choose low-fat or fat-free dairy foods. The holidays are a
great time of year to start thinking about healthier habits. If you do
snack, make it a nutritious choice-such as cheese, yogurt, fruits, and
vegetables-for your overall health and the health of your teeth.
