  1. Wow Your Smile with Professional Whitening<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    At Smile More Dentistry<\/a>, our proven whitening systems<\/a> are the safest and most affordable ways to whiten all of your teeth with amazing results. Call now at (845)359-1763 or book online<\/a> to get your holiday smile bright and picture-perfect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Eat HEALTHY!<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Holiday foods are not always healthy foods. The key is to find a balance between indulging enough to have fun but not forgo overall healthy choices. While eating on the run, you\u2019re less likely to focus on what\u2019s good for you and more likely to grab what\u2019s convenient. Meal planning is recommended by replacing processed and fast foods–with whole foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Remember, what\u2019s good for your body is good for your teeth and gums!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Pass on the Popcorn Balls!<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Chomping down on a single unpopped kernel of popcorn or hard candy, like toffee nuts, brittles and candy canes– can crack your teeth! They may be oh-so-irresistible but the potential  damage of your teeth<\/a> and fillings isn\u2019t worth the risk. Sticky candies like caramel and taffy have been known to pull out fillings and even loosen old bridges! If candy is a craving, stick to chocolate and brush soon afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1. Win Your Battle Over \u201cBad Breath\u201d<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          You\u2019re likely eating more plaque-causing and spicy foods for the holidays\u2026 and you may be overdue for your cleaning. You\u2019re only a breath away from being embarrassed by halitosis<\/a>, which is also known as bad breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Your dental cleaning can help restore your close up confidence.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          1. Don\u2019t Sour Your Smile!<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Oral bacteria that feed off sugar can generate an acid pH comparable to that of battery acid! Sodas and other common holiday drinks bathe your teeth in a continuous layer of decay causing acid–which can be extremely corrosive to your teeth. South candies and pickled foods can have the same effect. If you\u2019re going to consume acidic snacks, foods or drinks, do so during a mealtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Rinsing with water and chewing xylitol-containing gum can help!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
