Thanksgiving is less than a week away! As you prepare for the influx of guests and start readying your shopping lists, it’s also important to remember oral health.
Proper nutrition is essential in preventing tooth decay and gum disease. Make sure this year’s meal is something your teeth will be thankful for, be sure your little ones eat up these tooth-friendly items :
- Meats - Turkey is rich in phosphorus and helps keep your teeth healthy and strong
- Fruits and Veggies - Fiber-rich fruits and vegetables (including sweet potatoes and natural cranberries) act like detergent in your mouth and stimulate saliva!
- Dairy - Milk goes great in mashed potatoes or as your beverage for the meal. Calcium in dairy products works to strengthen teeth
