It\u2019s Thanksgiving, which means many people are indulging in the festivities and foods of the season. Whether you\u2019re excited to host the big meal or simply visit with friends over drinks, it\u2019s important to remember to care for your teeth. Keeping them clean is the best way to ensure you can flash a beautiful smile for the group photos that are sure to come.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep your pearly whites sparkling you may need to avoid certain foods and beverages, like red wine, that can stain them. It contains tannins which are known to leave your grin looking drab. If you aren\u2019t able or willing to skip it entirely, there are still some steps you can take to prevent discoloration. Keep reading to learn more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Step #1: Brush Beforehand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve just had a glass of red wine, you may be tempted to excuse yourself to brush your teeth afterward. You wouldn\u2019t want them to take on a reddish tinge if you\u2019re enjoying conversations with loved ones, after all. Unfortunately, brushing once you\u2019ve consumed wine doesn\u2019t help much and may even make matters worse by further etching your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, try brushing your teeth 30 minutes prior to pouring a glass. That way, you\u2019re removing any plaque buildup and food residue in advance so that the drink has nothing to cling to in your mouth. It also protects your teeth from the acid in the wine to prevent cavities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #2: Rinse After<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To ensure no particles are left behind once you\u2019ve imbibed, rinse your mouth with water. Both your oral health and overall well-being will benefit from the hydration. Alcohol is a diuretic and can leave you with dry mouth, which attracts bacteria that cause tooth decay. Keeping your mouth moist ensures that any unwanted ingredients and dangerous germs are flushed away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #3: Use Whitening Products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re worried that your habits will darken your grin this holiday season, you might want to switch to a toothpaste that actively whitens your teeth. There are many commercially available solutions that can remove surface stains while reinforcing the enamel with fluoride. You\u2019ll be protecting your teeth from future problems while you lighten them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bear in mind that using whitening products on damaged teeth can result in an incredible amount of discomfort. You may want to schedule a checkup with your dentist first or ask if they provide professional whitening services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By following these tips, you\u2019ll keep your smile looking its very best this holiday season!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
