November 2019: Thanksgiving Tips

Don’t Forget Your Benefits:  The end of the year is approaching fast. Have you made the most of your dental benefits this year? If unused benefits remain, there’s still time to use them before you lose them!  Please read our September newsletter on how to make the most of your benefits.  This is our busiest time of the year and we want to ensure we have the time to allow you to fully maximize your benefits.  

This is a great time of the year as we get the opportunity to spend time with friends and family.  However, please don’t forget about your teeth:

• It is not just sweets that can be problematic: Starches such as dressing and bread can leave acidic sugar on your teeth that, if not removed promptly, can lead to tooth decay.
• Be careful what you bite into:  Biting down into bones in turkey and chicken can damage (and sometimes break) your teeth.
• Keep ’em white:  Colorful food such as cranberry sauce and drinks such as tea and wine can leave stains on your teeth.

We hope you have a wonderful holiday season.  Please do not forget your oral health and contact us to get those issues taken care of before the end of the year!
