Whether you prefer gas or charcoal, smoke or open flame, barbeques are a summer tradition. As you visit the neighborhood barbeques this summer, be sure to consider tooth-friendly foods and drinks that may have a positive impact on your oral health and could even improve your smile!
- Choose water over sugary drinks. While summer fun may include drinks with tiny umbrellas, consuming more water than sugary beverages will make your mouth thank you.
- Choose fruit and veggie trays over chips and salsa. Unlike chips, raw vegetables are high in fiber and act as a natural toothbrush when you chew.
- Say yes to the cheese plate. Studies show that cheese and other dairy products could help raise pH levels in your mouth, which helps protect against cavities.
