Key Takeaways:

-Candy canes are a sweet treat during the holidays, but here’s the thing: Hard candy canes are not just full of sugar — biting down on one can lead to a broken or chipped tooth.

-Dark-colored drinks will stain your teeth.

-Eating sweet treats with your meal or right after is best.

-It’s important to finish off your tooth-cleaning routine by brushing your tongue.

-Keeping your tongue up on the roof of your mouth helps you breathe through your nose which in turn helps keep your teeth healthy.

-Ensure you’re flossing your teeth with traditional floss picks or water flossers.
