How to Throw a Tooth-Friendly Memorial Day BBQ

Are you planning on grilling up your favorite foods this weekend? You’re far from alone!

Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial kickoff to summer — and many families will be spending time BBQing with loved ones. If you plan on turning on the grill this weekend, here are a few tips to help you celebrate a tooth-friendly Memorial Day.

Tooth-Friendly BBQ Tips:

• Throw Veggies on the Grill - In addition to grilling up hamburgers and hot dogs, throw some veggies on the grill! Crunchy vegetables are a great way to stay healthy — and they taste delicious, too!
• Put Together a Cheese Platter - Add some extra calcium into your diet with a cheese platter! Calcium is a great way for both children and adults to grow strong teeth.
• Create a Red, White & Blue Parfait - Instead of indulging in sweets, put together a red, white and blue parfait with your favorite fruits (raspberries, strawberries, watermelon, blueberries, etc.) and yogurt. This dessert is healthy and high in calcium.
• Drink Plenty of Water - Make sure that you stay hydrated, especially if it’s going to be a hot day. Water will also help wash away harmful bacteria and keep your teeth clean after indulging in any BBQ foods.

From all of us here at Adelberg Montalvan Pediatric Dental, we hope you have a safe and enjoyable tooth-friendly Memorial Day weekend!
