This time of the year, it can be easy to go overboard with all of the festive sweets. We’re not here to tell you to completely avoid them, but it’s important to keep an eye on your oral health during the holiday season. Your smile needs do not take a break at any point, no matter how much you get into the Christmas swing, so make sure that you’re on top of your brushing and flossing. Taking care of your smile is a year-round endeavor, so be safe while you enjoy your holidays.
Here at Sunny Smiles, we truly do enjoy helping people love their smiles. We also know that that takes some effort, meaning that if you have been skipping your biannual dental checkups, you are putting yourself at risk. Plaque and tartar buildup are serious concerns for your smile, so come in for a cleaning to look and feel your freshest over the festivities. While you are here, let’s have a chat about ways to improve your oral health efforts.

Take The Time For Your Teeth
We get it: it can be really tough to find the time to take care of everything before you head off to see your family. The holidays can be a real struggle for anyone, and if you have kids, then you understand the importance of time maintenance. But before you pack up the car to go visit with your loved ones, take the time for your teeth.
The simple truth is that you cannot handle your smile needs all by yourself. Even with a dedication to your brushing and flossing, there still may be areas where you miss. Plaque buildup can start here, and if you don’t remove it within 24-48 hours, it calcifies into a harder material called tartar (calculus). At this point, you need the help of a trusted dental professional to remove it.
Help Your Little One Be Safe This Holiday Season
When you are a parent, then you need to keep the focus on your child’s oral health needs, as well. Just like you do, they need consistent visits to keep their smiles safe from common dental concerns like tooth decay and periodontal disease. For most little ones, that means coming into the office at least twice each year; if you are unsure on the date of their last appointment, call our team to talk about their smile.
