Santa's Milk And Cookies: The Dental Connection!

Did you know that the milk and cookies that are left out for Santa have more of a dental connection than you may know!  A recent study found that regular consumption of dairy products, such as milk, cheese and yogurt, can actually lower your chances of contracting periodontal disease (also known as gum disease). 

Eating dairy is not just healthy for building strong bones, but is essential for maintaining a strong, healthy mouth.  Next time you reach for a quick snack, choose some cheese, or a glass of milk, and remember that with each bite, and every sip, you are preserving your teeth for a lifetime of smiles and good oral health!

Happy Holidays!
God Bless,
