The festivities are all around. The markets all full of delicious sweets. Every house that you visit welcomes you with mouth watering food. While it’s good to indulge in the festivities with full fervour, it’s equally important to take care of your oral and dental health.
Here is a guide to help you balance health and fun:
Gargle after every meal and specifically after junk intake
The moment your gargle, you flush out the residual food material that can act as a breeding ground for the microbes. So gargle and keep those microbes away.
Restrict your junk intake consciously
Do not avoid completely but restrict the intake. Take small quantities. Regulate your sweets and caffeine intake.
Include healthy snacks
Serve your guests good healthy snacks. Include dry fruits and fibre in the snacks. You can try healthy drinks like home made juices, lemonades, herbal teas etc.
Avoid canned juices and cold drinks.
Keep yourself hydrated
Water would help you flush out the toxins from the body. Drinking small amount of water at regular intervals prevents you from uncontrolled munching.
Maintain good oral hygiene
Brush your teeth twice daily, especially during the festive season. Night brushing is highly important.
Meet your dentist
In case a tooth troubles you during this season, do not hesitate to visit your dentist and get it treated.
