Besides cleaning out the cabinets and reorganizing your closets, you\u2019re probably enjoying a few favorite seasonal foods. When you take a break from spring cleaning, don\u2019t reach for sugary treats or it can lead to bad news the next time you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wacofamilydental.com\/general-dentistry.html\">visit your dentist<\/a>. Here&#8217;s how to protect your smile from popular March foods.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food-Filled Celebrations in March<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>St. Patrick\u2019s Day isn\u2019t the only time to celebrate during the month. There are many exciting happenings in March, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>March 1st: Peanut Butter Lovers Day<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Most peanut butter has a lot of sugar, which can feed cavity-causing bacteria. It can also cling to the roof of your mouth and teeth, giving sugar more time to erode your enamel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>March 5th: Mardi Gras\/ Fat Tuesday<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Fat Tuesday wouldn\u2019t be complete without Paczkis. The sweet, gooey treats aren\u2019t just loaded with calories and fat. They also contain sugar and can stick to your teeth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>March 6th: National PI Day<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In honor of National PI (3.14<strong>)<\/strong> Day, pies are baked to celebrate. Your favorite pie recipe can increase your risk of decay because sugar can be a main ingredient. Pies containing acidic fruits can weaken your enamel, making them more vulnerable to cavity-causing bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>March 17th: St. Patrick\u2019s Day<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Green foods and drinks are staples of St. Paddy\u2019s Day, but they can stain your teeth from the added food coloring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>March 24th: Chocolate Covered Raisin Day<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Raisins alone are known to cause decay because they cling to teeth. Covering them in sugary chocolate is a recipe for disaster.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>March 25th: Waffle Day<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you love dousing your waffles in syrup, you\u2019re also drenching your teeth in sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many reasons to savor delicious treats, you can increase your risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues. You don\u2019t have to skip the festivities to keep your mouth healthy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safeguard Your Smile During March<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t have to dread your next cleaning and checkup. You can protect your oral health during the month by keeping a few tips in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Improve Your Oral Hygiene:<\/strong> The American Dental Association recommends brushing your teeth twice daily, but strive to brush after every meal, especially if you&#8217;re doing more snacking. Don\u2019t forget to floss daily.<\/li><li><strong>Moderate Sugar Consumption:<\/strong> Limit sugary foods and drinks. If you can\u2019t resist a sweet treat, eat it with a meal.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Drink More Water:<\/strong> Water keeps you hydrated, but it also cleanses your mouth in between brushing and flossing.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Avoid Stain-Causing Foods:<\/strong> Avoid dark foods and drinks, including any green milkshakes.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The celebrations of March don\u2019t have to come back to haunt your smile. Give your teeth and gums a little extra attention to ensure your smile stays healthy and beautiful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Theresa Lassetter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wacofamilydental.com\/meet-dr-lassetter.html\">Dr. Lessetter<\/a> earned her dental degree at the University of Texas Health Science Center School of Dentistry and has regularly continued her education in advanced services.
