Preparing for the Holidays

November 28, 2018

The final months of the year are jam-packed with family gatherings and holiday celebrations. As we all know, no get-together is complete without plenty of group photos. If you want your smile to be camera ready for all of the picture opportunities and mingling in store, consider these easy tips from our Evanston dentist to keep your pearly whites sparkling.



1. Use a Straw

When drinking darker beverages, like coffee, soda, juice, or wine, consider using a straw instead of drinking straight from the cup. This will help reduce your chances of staining and minimize contact with your teeth. For the best results, rinse your mouth after you’ve finished enjoying your drink.


2. Healthy & Helpful Snacks

Along with the countless other benefits of eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, they’re also great for your teeth. Apples, carrots, and celery contain large amounts of water which stimulates saliva production, helping to fight tartar build up. The malic acid in strawberries even helps naturally remove surface discoloration on teeth!


3. Schedule a Cleaning

The end of the year is the perfect time to see your Evanston dentist. Before you greet those out-of-town visitors, schedule an appointment for a teeth cleaning. By removing plaque buildup and checking on your overall oral health, you can be sure you’re ready for the holiday season.

Taking care of your smile is one of the best gifts you can give to yourself. However, if these suggestions aren’t doing the trick, contact your Evanston dentist to talk about a professionalwhitening session.
