With the arrival of Easter, many people prepare to taste delicious chocolates and other delicacies of the season. However, it’s important to remember that these foods can harm oral health, causing cavities, tooth sensitivity and other problems.
“The bacteria present in the mouth are responsible for decomposing food residues, including sugar, and this causes the appearance of cavities”, warns dentist Claudia Consalter, founding partner of the OrthoDontic network.
For those who want to celebrate Easter guilt-free, the specialist has prepared five tips for taking care of oral health while enjoying the delicious treats. Check out:
regular appointments
This tip goes beyond the Easter season! It is essential to make regular dental appointments, at least once every six months, to prevent problems that can cause headaches and pocket money in the future.
correct hygiene
Brushing your teeth three times a day is one of the main recommendations of experts. Also, it’s important to floss as it reaches places that the brush can’t. Claudia highlights the importance of brushing at night, since the decrease in salivation during sleep favors the incidence of cavities.
Keep an eye on the schedules
It’s very pleasant to snack on chocolate during the day, but you have to be careful. We often forget to brush our teeth after these snacks, which can be harmful to oral health.
