Look after your dental health at Christmas: causes and tips

The festive season comes with more meals, more sweets and disrupted timetables. With a little care it's easy to enjoy it without your mouth paying the price.

Tips for the festive season

Keep up your brushing routine. Even if you’re eating away from home, carry a toothbrush and brush after every meal. Five minutes make all the difference.
Watch out for sweets and drinks. Nougat, marzipan and sugary drinks encourage decay and sensitivity. Go easy and rinse with water.
Mind hard foods. Some nougats and nuts can damage teeth, dentures or braces. Bite with care.
