Holiday Foods & Your Brilliant Smile

The holidays bring joy and indulgence, but some festive foods and drinks could be less kind to your teeth. Maintaining a brilliant smile during this season requires knowing which treats to enjoy in moderation and how to keep your teeth bright and healthy. One way is to visit Olympia Dental Center for teeth whitening treatment!

Treats That Tarnish Your Teeth

Dark beverages like red wine, coffee, and spiced teas are among the top offenders for staining teeth. Cranberry sauce, chocolate desserts, and berry pies are other common culprits due to their deep pigments. 

Even savory dishes, like balsamic-glazed vegetables or richly spiced gravies, can contribute to discoloration over time. 

Tips to Preserve Your Smile

You don’t need to forego your favorite holiday treats to maintain your smile. Sip water alongside dark-colored foods and drinks to help wash away pigments. Enjoy crunchy fruits and vegetables like apples or celery, which can naturally clean your teeth while you chew. 

Most importantly, stick to a consistent brushing and flossing routine to keep your enamel healthy and stain-free.
