Your favorite foods during the holidays “can wreak havoc on your teeth,” and the article shares several tips from the American Dental Association to help keep teeth healthy during the holidays. For example, the ADA recommends eating cranberry sauce with a meal rather than by itself, due to its sugar content and acidity. Eating yams without marshmallows and sugar is encouraged, and drinking plenty of water is recommended for those who do eat candied yams, to help wash away the leftover food. The article shares several other ADA recommendations, noting that brushing and flossing after eating holiday meals is encouraged.
