Will you be celebrating Hanukkah with any traditional holiday foods this week? As you celebrate with friends and family, these tips will help you celebrate a tooth-friendly Hanukkah this year!
Tooth-Friendly Hanukkah Tips:
- Make Healthier Latkes - Make a healthier latkes option, like this recipe for potato-apple latkes! The apples are healthy and have vitamins that are good for your teeth. Snacking on leftover apples after you've made latkes will help keep your teeth clean, too! Apples can act as a natural tooth brush, getting rid of the starches from your latkes.
- Bake Whole Wheat Challah Bread - Challah bread is a traditional part of Hanukkah for many families. Try this whole wheat version for a dessert that is lighter and healthier.
- Don't Forget to Brush - Many traditional Hanukkah foods are bad for your teeth. If your kids indulge in any treats this week, remind them to brush their teeth afterwards! Kids should always brush their teeth for 2 minutes, 2 times a day.
If you have any questions about your child’s teeth through the holidays, give one of our offices a call! You can call 516-222-5100 to schedule your appointment at our Garden City office or 516-759-7000 to schedule your appointment at our Glen Cove office.
