Let\u2019s be honest \u2013 during the holidays, it\u2019s hard to hold back on the snacks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d rather avoid an emergency dental visit, don\u2019t worry. Making these dentist approved meals your holiday dinner centerpiece will help protect your smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turkey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be glad to know that turkey, an extremely versatile meat, is great for your teeth. The calcium inside this flightless bird promotes both bone growth and bone strength. Although teeth aren\u2019t technically bones, they still benefit from these properties \u2013 as does your jawbone, which helps support your pearly whites!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Broccoli Cheddar Soup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s nothing like holding a warm bowl of soup on a cold winter day. Broccoli cheddar soup pairs well with almost anything, making it an easy side dish to include on your holiday dinner menu. More importantly, the \u201ccheddar part\u201d has loads of calcium, while the \u201cbroccoli part\u201d contains vitamin C. This nutrient helps your body form collagen, an essential protein for your gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yogurt Dipped Apples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you heard the old saying \u201can apple a day keeps the doctor away\u201d? Well, an apple won\u2019t keep your dentist away from your biannual checkups and cleanings, but it can help wash away oral bacteria. The crisp, fibrous texture stimulates saliva production, which in turn cleans your teeth by keeping them moist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of apple-centric holiday recipes contain sugary toppings, however, a clever substitute can turn a classic treat into a smile-friendly snack. With salt, agave syrup, and vanilla extract, you can dip your apples into a tasty yogurt concoction instead of sticky caramel and candy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Happy Holidays!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By spreading the table with food that contains great nutrients for healthy teeth, you can help fortify your family\u2019s smiles against cavities and other dental emergencies. Remember that smart snacking choices don\u2019t replace good oral hygiene, though! It\u2019s important to brush your teeth twice daily and to floss at least once per day, especially when holiday treats are back in season. Keep your teeth happy and clean, you\u2019ll be able to enjoy uninterrupted family time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salinasdental.com\/meet-dr-hajdari.html\">Dr. Ed Hajdari<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salinasdental.com\/meet-dr-chehrehsa.html\">Dr. Arian Chehrehsa<\/a> are excellent partners, but they\u2019re also your partners in making sure your teeth are in tip-top shape.
