From now until the end of the year, you can look forward to plenty of twinkling lights, decorated Christmas trees, and the joy that comes with sharing your time, and more, with family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>Food is of course a major part of the holiday season. Everyone has a favorite holiday dish, that one special recipe that you have to have for Thanksgiving or for Christmas dinner. You\u2019ll also find plenty of delicious desserts to satisfy your sweet tooth this time of year.<\/p>\n<p>From all of us at Dr<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clintontownshipfamilydental.com\/\">. Mindy Salzberg-Siegel\u2019s office<\/a>, we want you to enjoy everything December has to offer, including those holiday favorites. There are many times throughout the year when it\u2019s good to pass on seconds, but when you\u2019re spending time with loved ones, you should enjoy the moment and who you\u2019re with. Just for these few remaining weeks, give yourself permission to splurge a little.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, splurging on seconds doesn\u2019t mean putting aside your normal brushing and flossing routine. If anything, we need to be more vigilant during December when it comes to great home care. That\u2019s especially true for parents of young children.<\/p>\n<p>To help you and your little ones enjoy good oral health this month, see what the knowledgeable folks at <a href=\"http:\/\/oralb.com\/en-us\/oral-care-topics\/holiday-oral-care-tips-for-kids\">Oral B<\/a> have to say about caring for teeth when sweets are in abundance. Some of those tips include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make flossing more fun with special flossers decorated with a character your little one loves.<\/li>\n<li>Limit how often and when your child consumes sweets.<\/li>\n<li>Take advantage of the oral health benefits of dairy by serving your little one milk or cheese alongside treats.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, if you\u2019ll be doing any baking this month, try substituting sugar for xylitol, a natural sweetener found in plant fibers. Xylitol reacts to the bacteria in our mouths differently than sugar does.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to schedule an early 2014 visit with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clintontownshipfamilydental.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Dr. Salzberg-Siegel<\/a>? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clintontownshipfamilydental.com\/contact.html\">Call<\/a> our <b>Clinton Township<\/b> office for an appointment.
