Don’t reach for cookies right off the bat. Instead, start with food that is filling, full of vitamins and minerals good for your smile, and full of fiber that will fill you up! Include veggies in the beginning of your meal. They’re fantastic for your oral health and general health, too!
Now, don’t overlook the turkey on the table. Oh, and make sure you reach for that cheese plate! The protein in turkey is beneficial for your teeth. Calcium in cheese, of course, is essential for your oral health. By the time you’ve gotten this far into your meal, you will find that limiting the amount of sugar you eat becomes easier because you’re probably nearly full!
Really want to indulge a little bit (you just didn’t want to go overboard)? Choose a dessert and eat it while you’re eating your meal (so teeth don’t become saturated with sugar). Or, eat it afterwards in the traditional fashion. Just remember to sip water when you’re through, so sugars are pushed from your smile.
