Father's Day is right around the corner!  Will you be celebrating with a family BBQ this weekend?  Here are a few tooth-friendly BBQ tips to keep in mind.

Tooth Friendly BBQ Tips:

• Have a Crunchy Fruit Salad - Crunchy fruits like apples and pears are good for your teeth!  Their textures help wipe bacteria off of your teeth and they require a lot of chewing - which increases bacteria-neutralizing saliva.
• Stay Hydrated - Drinking lots of water is important on hot days.  It helps keep you hydrated and helps keep your teeth clean.
• Add Cheese to Your Burger - Calcium helps teeth grow strong!  They are great not just for growing kids, but for adults too.
• Don't Forget to Brush & Floss - Even with a tooth-friendly diet, it's still important to remember to brush and floss after eating.  This will help keep your teeth bright, white and healthy all summer long.
