Don't let holiday snacking hurt your smile!  With all of the sweets and sugary foods, it can be hard to stay healthy during the holidays.  Here are a few tips to keep your teeth beautiful through the new year.

Holiday Tooth Tips:

• Brush After Meals - It's always important to remember to brush your teeth, but with all of the sugary snacks that kids eat during the holidays, you want to make sure you're getting all of the bacteria off of your teeth!
• Use a New Toothbrush - You should replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months.  The holidays are the perfect time to replace your kid's toothbrush with their favorite character or with a festive themed brush!
• Avoid Snacking - Snacking in between meals can be tempting with candy canes and holiday cookies, but snacking is also bad for your teeth.  If you can, limit sweets to meal time.
