Holiday Foods and Your Bright Smile

The holidays are a time for indulgence and celebration, but some seasonal favorites can impact the brightness of your teeth. Keeping your bright smile through the festivities is easier when you know which foods and drinks to watch out for and how to maintain a radiant grin with teeth whitening treatment at Riverview Dental Associates.

Festive Culprits Behind Stains

Richly colored drinks like red wine, hot cocoa, and coffee are popular during the holidays but can leave stains on your enamel. Cranberry sauce, berry-filled desserts, and dark chocolates also contain pigments that can dull your teeth’s natural shine. 

Even savory options like balsamic-glazed dishes or spiced gravies can add to discoloration over time. 

Simple Ways to Maintain a Bright Smile

There’s no need to skip your favorite holiday treats to take care of your teeth. Sip water throughout your meal to rinse away staining particles and enjoy crunchy fruits or vegetables like apples or celery, which act as natural scrubbers for your teeth. 

Regular brushing and flossing remain crucial during the busy season to remove debris and maintain a clean, healthy smile.
