Tooth Friendly Holiday Snacks

The holidays are an indulgent time of year. After all, there are tasty treats to be had! These holiday treats are usually loaded with sugar, which is not good for your dental health. Luckily, there are tooth friendly alternatives you can serve this holiday season.

Oatmeal Cookies

Looking for a alternative for classic chocolate chip cookies? Oatmeal cookies are the perfect option! Oatmeal cookies made from applesauce will contain less processed sugar than chocolate chip cookies.

Pumpkin Pie

Did you know that pumpkin pies are actually healthy? They contain quite a lot of fiber. You can enjoy a healthy piece of pumpkin pie as long as you forgo a dollop of whipped cream.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Did you know that strawberries are good for your teeth? This is due to the fact that they are loaded with Vitamin C. The chocolate dizzle makes this simple fruit even more decadent.

Once the holiday season is over, it will be 2016! Is improving your dental health one of your new years resolutions? If so, turn to the professionals at Fairfield Dental Arts. We can help you achieve the glowing smile you’ve always wanted. Call 203-254-3780 to schedule an appointment.
