Holiday Tips

1. Don’t crack nuts with your teeth. Squirrels can do that, not humans. Cracking a tooth can be very painful resulting in the urgent need for a root canal and crown. Be smart when muching on those delicious holiday nuts, use a nutcracker!

2. Be very carefull when eating caramel popcorn. Biting down on a single unpopped kernal of popcorn too hard can break a tooth.

3. Don’t give into the temptation to bite down on candy canes. Savor the pepperminty -goodness!

4. Don’t bite tags off clothing. That’s what scissors are used for!

5. Brush and floss your teeth after eating cookies, pies and sweets. The greatest cause of dental decay is from sugary food left on or around your teeth.
