Did you know that statistically, people are more likely to have dental emergencies during the holidays? Easter and Christmas often see major spikes, as people indulge in treats they might typically avoid.
How to Keep Your Holidays Happy
While it’s impossible to prevent all dental disasters, there are a few tips you can follow to reduce your chance of an Easter emergency:
- Watch your alcohol intake – Accidents can happen if you overindulge. All it takes is a simple stumble and fall for a tooth to become chipped or cracked.
- Pay attention to your plate – Keeping your eyes on the conversation while you take your next bite could lead you to chomp down on an olive pit or chicken bone.
- Avoid hard candies – Choose softer treats that you can chew without doing any damage.
- Forget the party tricks – Don’t try to crack a nut or pop a bottle cap with your teeth. Your friends might be impressed, but they won’t pay for the dental treatment you’ll end up needing if you accidentally crack a tooth, too.
