Are you a fan of hard candy? I mean really, who isn’t? Have you seen the beautiful boxes filled with hard candy ribbons, the rock candy rounds with little Christmas trees on them and that all time favorite caramel that sticks to your teeth? And don’t forget those candy canes. Everybody loves to crunch on a candy cane, until they hear that pop and end up with a broken tooth. Ouch! If you have those horrible cravings for holiday candy, be careful they don’t turn into Las Vegas holiday dental emergencies.
We’ve seen it more than once where holiday gifts of the wonderful seasonal candy turn into dental nightmares for dental patients of all ages. It’s not just the kids who enjoy those special holiday treats. Grandparents love biting into those luscious chocolates until they bite into a caramel and end up with a dental crown falling out. Not to mention the sore gums you can get from eating mounds of popcorn and mixed nuts. And who can have the holidays without consuming mass quantities of Grandma’s famous fudge? All the holiday candy could lead to Las Vegas holiday dental emergencies.
If all this sounds familiar to you, please remember that it’s never a bad idea to brush your teeth a few extra times during the holidays. Removing all that excess sugar from your mouth shortly after snacking is one of the best things you can do to ward off cavities during the holidays.
