Your Holiday Smile: Tips to Keep it Bright

The holiday season is packed with delicious meals and festive drinks, but some favorites might dim your pearly whites. To keep your holiday smile bright, it’s important to know which treats can stain your teeth and how to maintain a glowing grin with teeth whitening at Jahyun Koo DDS. 

Stain-Heavy Holiday Treats

Dark drinks like red wine, coffee, and hot chocolate are popular during the holidays but can leave lasting stains on your teeth. Sweet and savory delights like cranberry sauce, berry pies, and balsamic glaze also carry strong pigments that cling to enamel. 

Even seasonal spices and deeply colored soups can contribute to discoloration. 

Simple Steps for Protecting Your Teeth

Enjoy your holiday indulgences without sacrificing your smile. Rinse your mouth with water after consuming dark foods and drinks to reduce their staining potential. Pair stain-causing items with crunchy foods like apples or carrots to naturally clean your teeth as you eat. 

Regular brushing and flossing are your best defenses against discoloration, so don’t let holiday hustle interfere with your routine.
