The holidays are a delightful whirlwind of celebration. Family gatherings, friend catch-ups, office parties… and a whole lot of photo opportunities!
Between the festive meals and endless smiles, your teeth deserve to be at their brilliant best. A last-minute dental cleaning can ensure you look and feel radiant and healthy during the festive season!
Brighten Your Smile for Holiday Photos
No one wants to be underwhelmed in an otherwise perfect holiday photo with a dull, discolored smile. Professional cleanings (and perhaps teeth whitening) remove built-up plaque and surface stains that brushing alone can’t tackle, leaving you with a fresh, polished, confident smile. Take this simple proactive step to help you shine in every group photo, selfie, or video call!
Protect Your Teeth from Holiday Treats
The holidays abound with sugary snacks, decadent desserts, rich foods, and cocktails. Without proper precautions, these treats can wreak havoc on your teeth — especially if you’ve already got any plaque and bacteria buildup. A last-minute cleaning can help reduce your risk of cavities and other dental issues and give your dentist a chance to remind you to:
- Rinse with water after sugary treats
- Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
- Floss whenever you brush (or as close as possible) to remove stray food particles
- Minimize your intake of hard candies or foods that could chip your teeth
Start the New Year with a Healthy Mouth
A holiday cleaning isn’t just about appearances — it’s an opportunity to catch minor dental concerns, like early signs of cavities, gum inflammation, or other issues, before they become big problems. Troubleshooting these potential issues now means fewer (nasty) surprises in the new year!
Don’t wait until after the holidays to care for your teeth. A quick dental cleaning can boost your confidence, protect your oral health, and ensure your smile is holiday-ready!
