Four Dental Tips for the Eid Holidays

 

 

1. Don’t crack nut shells with your teeth

 

If you are interested in nutrition and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, you will be aware that we are encouraged to eat nuts. Nuts have a high protein content which is good for the growth and repair of cells. However, your jaw strength should not be put to the test by cracking the hard nut shell. This can often lead to cracked teeth and gum damage. 

 

2. Avoid chewy & hard sweets

 

You may find that you will be offered sweets many times during the Eid Holidays. It is advised to avoid chewy sweets as the sticky substance can stick to teeth which can cause tooth decay. Some sticky sweets such as toffees can even pull out fillings! If you are eating hard sweets, you should allow them to dissolve in your mouth rather than chewing them which can cause serious damage.
