Christmas drinks like mulled wine and hot chocolate can be acidic and sugary. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day helps rinse away sugars and acids, keeping your teeth and gums healthier.
While it's tempting to indulge in sweets, try to balance your festive treats with tooth-friendly options like cheese, nuts and crunchy vegetables. These can help neutralise acids and protect your enamel.
With the busyness of the season, it’s easy to forget about your oral care routine. Make sure to brush your teeth twice daily for two minutes and floss daily to remove any food particles from those Christmas feasts.
Frequent snacking on sugary treats can increase the risk of cavities. If you’re indulging, try to enjoy sweets with meals rather than between them, as saliva production is higher during meals and can help protect your teeth.
Caramels, toffees, and other sticky sweets can cling to your teeth, while hard candies can chip them. Enjoy these sparingly, and chew mindfully to avoid any dental mishaps over the holidays.
We’re thrilled to announce the return of a much-loved Synergy Dental tradition—our Patient Christmas Hampers! Each year, we spread festive cheer by entering all our wonderful patients into a free prize draw to win one of our luxury Christmas hampers.
