Drink water after eating sugary foods<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After eating one too many Cherry Ripes from the box of Favourites, be sure to drink a glass of water afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>But why water? The water in New Zealand contains fluoride which protects against tooth decay by strengthening&nbsp;its surface. Therefore, during long periods of snacking on sugary treats, be sure to have a glass of water on hand!<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlineImageWrapper\" style=\"padding-right: 3px; float: left; margin: 10px !important; width: 100% !important; height: auto !important;\">\n<figure style=\"margin: 0px!important; font-style: italic!important;\">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Remember to eat Christmas candy in moderation.\" class=\"inlineImage\" height=\"auto\" id=\"14113668\" src=\"https:\/\/www.citydentists.co.nz\/dental-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/x_0_0_0_14113668_800.webp\" width=\"100%\"><figurecaption>Be sure to limit your sugar consumption during Christmas.<\/figurecaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>3. Indulge in moderation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Instead of telling you to cut&nbsp;out sugary snacks altogether, here at City Dentists, we recommend eating these tasty treats in moderation &#8211; just like any other time of the year. This way, you&#8217;ll limit the amount of time your teeth are exposed to sugar, and you won&#8217;t have to worry about squeezing into your jeans in the new year &#8211; an added bonus!<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.

Research from the National Center for Biotechnology Information found that cheese possesses&nbsp;anticariogenic properties which may help to protect teeth against cavities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So, during the Christmas period, if the camembert comes your way, be sure to take a slither or two!<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Don&#8217;t skip on the dental routine<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With all of the sugary Christmas treats consumed throughout the festive period, teeth are left much more vulnerable to developing decay. Therefore, it&#8217;s vital that you continue to practise&nbsp;a high level of dental hygiene. Brush and floss twice a day to ensure that your teeth are well looked after during such an indulgent time.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to ensure that your teeth are in the best shape for Christmas, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citydentists.co.nz\/book-dental-appointment-online.html\">book an appointment<\/a> with the team at City Dentists today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christmas is a time spent with friends and family, and also the season where diets tend to take a back seat to make way for sugary treats.
