Many of us will be expecting a visit from the Easter bunny very soon and are looking forward to enjoying a few sweet treats and time with family and friends. During Easter, you want to enjoy the activities, but it’s essential to protect your dental health. With a bit of foresight, you can enjoy sweet treats without spoiling your smile.
However, foods to completely avoid with braces include:
- popcorn
- nuts
- ice
- chewing gum
- hard candy
- chewy candy
- pizza crust
- bagels and other hard rolls
- crunchy vegetables and fruits
- hard crackers
- pretzels
- chips
Whenever you eat something sugary, it feeds bacteria in your mouth, allowing them to produce acid that weakens and damages your tooth enamel, eventually causing cavities.
So, while the occasional sweet treat is OK, limit yourself to only a few sugary foods and beverages a week.
Above all, make sure you take the time to brush your teeth thoroughly twice daily or more frequently as possible and floss at least once each day.
What can we do to make you smile?
Enjoy your long Happy Easter Weekend
