With the holiday season underway, many people may put inhibitions aside and eat and drink whatever looks good. However, the reckless consumption of cakes, candies, pies, beverages (alcoholic and otherwise), meats, and sides come with a number of potential health risks, the article states, including some that are dental. The article provides a list of holiday foods and drinks that can damage teeth, including items such as bourbon and coffee, which can dry out the mouth; citrus fruits, which are acidic and can erode enamel; candy canes, which have a high sugar content and can also trigger a dental emergency, such as a broken or chipped tooth; and sticky candy and dried fruit, which can stay on the teeth longer than other types of candy and food.
