‘Tis the season of holiday celebrations, which means cookies, candies and sugary treats are flooding our surroundings. If you find yourself indulging in these sugary treats make sure to spend extra time on your oral hygiene. It’s not a bad idea to bring your toothbrush to work and give your teeth a quick brush after your office parties. Try enjoying the sugary treat with a meal instead of snacking throughout the day. Drink plenty of water after eating sweets and chew sugar-free gum to help to prevent cavities. The dentists in Gainesville with Van Dyke General and Implant Dentistry wish everyone a Happy Holiday and a Happy New Year. Safe travels to you and your loved ones.
