We always insist that hygiene and dental health must be taken care of throughout the year, but even more during Christmas. These are dates of excesses, in which we neglect what we eat, our habits and the time we dedicate to dental cleaning.
From YOTUEL we want to help you with these five tips so that you can take the best possible care of your oral health during the Christmas holidays. Take note!
1. Avoid excess sweets
We know that it is inevitable to eat more sweets than usual during these dates, but we must always have control. It never hurts to treat yourself, but avoid a high consumption of sweets.
We advise you to avoid soft sweets, since it is easier for them to leave residues between the teeth and, therefore, cause cavities more easily and quickly.
2. Some foods can cause stains on the enamel
Some star foods at Christmas can cause stains on the teeth, such as red wine, spices, caffeine, fats…
For specific moments, we recommend YOTUEL® Pen, with which you can touch up and remove light stains that you have on your tooth enamel caused by some drinks or food.
3. Limit alcohol consumption
Alcoholic beverages are very aggressive, they can erode the enamel of the teeth and weaken them. Also, as we mentioned earlier, it can also stain your teeth. We know that the vast majority of us cannot avoid celebrating the new year with a drink. For this we recommend that you do it with red wine, since white or champagne are more aggressive for tooth enamel.
4. Be careful with hard foods
During these dates it is likely that we eat foods that we do not usually buy, such as shellfish or hard nougat. Foods that you should avoid if you wear dentures, have had orthodontics or simply want to take care of your enamel, as they can cause breakage or weaken them.
5. Maintain your oral cleaning routine
Being careful with the mentioned habits is essential to maintain good oral health. But it is essential to maintain good daily hygiene and brush your teeth three times a day.
For this, we recommend the range of YOTUEL® products for daily use. With which you will reinforce the health of your teeth.
You will avoid the sensation of bad taste in your mouth and you will show off a whiter smile than ever.
