Happy Thanksgiving

With Thanksgiving approaching, Dr. Mike Hamid Mirsepasi and the team at Nobel Dental Care wanted to express our thanks to have you in our dental family. Our practice thrives because of loyal patients like you. We are honored to have the pleasure of knowing you and your loved ones and help you keep your smile healthy. We wanted to share a few tips to keep your teeth healthy during this feasting holiday.

• Eat as balanced a meal as you can.  If indulging in heaping portions of carbohydrate rich and sugary foods like stuffing, rolls, pies and cakes be sure to also eat protein and vegetables.  This will help reduce some of the acids in the mouth formed by sugar and bacteria.
• Minimize or avoid sticky foods.
• Try not to snack all day. Often Thanksgiving festivities mean eating and mingling all day.  Spend time with family and friends playing games rather than eating to cut down on the build up of cavity causing acids.
• Rinse or brush. Bring your travel toothbrush and brush after the big meal. If you are not able to brush remember to rinse your mouth out with water to remove as much debris and acid as possible.

By following these simple holiday teeth care tips, you can keep your teeth and gums healthy while still enjoying the delicious holiday food including grandma’s famous pecan or pumpkin pie. Happy Thanksgiving!
