As the seasons change and we get closer to the holiday season, many turn to their favorite holiday drinks like eggnog or hot chocolate with extra marshmallows. While for many, these drinks are a glance into the past, cups brewing with nostalgia and memories, your teeth have a different feeling toward them.
KEEP YOUR TEETH HOLLY JOLLY THROUGH THE SEASON
Many of our favorite holiday drinks are teeming with sugar that, while tasty, have an adverse effect on your teeth and can cause issues for you once the holidays are over. From acidity, tannins, chromogens and more, our favorite flavors of the holidays tend to turn dental centers into hot spots. Unlike coffee, some teas or wine, hot cocoa won’t stain your teeth the same way that that tannins in those other drinks would, but they still contain compounds that are prone to discoloration. Avoid any nasty surprises during and after the holiday season by keeping your dental care up to date and trusting our dental professionals to help recommend best practices to keep your pearly whites shining.
